Thank you.  I'm going to read over all of this carefully.

On the parenting classes, we have done many, many, many parenting classes.  Many.  ;-)[/quote]

PEP classes are pretty useless IMO, whether or not your kid is SN. What Shapiro, Kazdin, and Unstuck Parenting classes (at Ivymount) teaches parents is based on lots of research and will be effective with all kinds of kids.  I'm guessing most of the classes you took weren't evidence based.  If you don't want to do a class, try behavioral therapy.   A behavioral therapist will help you develop more constructive and effective ways to communicate with your kid.

Your kid most likely doesn't want to be aggressive with peers but for whatever reason--whether is a social communication disorder, AHDH, anxiety, etc.  He needs ways to scaffold his behavior for appropriate responses.  In addition to an evaluation whether it's done through the school or privately, you can ask for a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA).  Through observation, they can help identify the triggers and put in behavioral supports in place.[/quote]
