[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but the above posts give me some hope - DD has ADHD and is in first grade - it's been a tough year. When she was 4 - 6 (PS - K), she had trouble transitioning and following directions. In first grade her behavior has worsened - issues with transitions, following directions and when she gets frustrated/angry - sometimes responds by hitting/kicking/etc - which she did not do in PS - K. She recently had a neuropsych eval at Childrens and she has started therapy and meds, although haven't found the right med yet. We're hopeful that as she ages things will improve. We're also doing a lot of reading on parenting challenging kids to shift our parenting approach. [/quote]

Ask for a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) and a behavioral intervention plan (BIP) done by a board certified behavioral analyst (BCBA). The  If you are in public school, they should have someone who does this regularly.   When my DS was about to be removed to SN school with public funding in 2nd grade, the BIP made a world of difference just a much if not more than the ADHD meds. The FBA/BIP will provide positive structure to her school environment and will only make it better if well done.  Worth a try.  Good luck![/quote]
