[quote=Anonymous]I am glad you are pursuing additional evaluations.  This sounds like my DD in 1st grade who ended up with diagnoses of dyslexia/ adhd/ anxiety.  She literally couldn’t do the tasks that were asked of her and she shut down/ acted out.

In the short run the BIP might mean she gets a reward for just staying in the class.

It was a terrible time.  So please know you aren’t alone and things will get better but it might take time.  And I think it is critical to attend carefully to your relationship with your child right now. They need to know you are working through this with them and that you aren’t mad at them for their struggles.  My DDs anxiety was exacerbated by her fear that she was letting us down too.

So making time for “time ins” was so important.  I only realized this in hind sight when after her evaluation my DD said to me that now that we knew what was wrong with her maybe we could fix it so I could be proud of her. All of my energy had been on solving the problem, but my DD thought she was the problem.[/quote]
