[quote=Anonymous]OP you need to get your child evaluated.  I believe the school system is required to provide an evaluation of your child if you have concerns about special education (which can include social and behavioral).  Call special ed services for your school system at the county level and ask how you request that.  That won't be a full neuropsych eval but it will be a start and will slow down whatever actions the school is taking.  Also get a private full eval.  Have you compared your child's behavior before and after being put on anxiety meds?  You want to make sure the med isn't having side effects that rev the system up even more (some SSRIs can do this).  Is your child's therapist a behavioral or cognitive behavioral therapist?  I would strongly suggest you choose only those types...your child needs a behaviorally driven approach.  I recommend the book The Kazdin Method (or the other book by Kazdin) ASAP so you can get started before all of these appts. This book is a must.  I know how stressful it is to get calls from school.  FWIW, it gets better.  In our experience, the less strict the response to misbehavior the better.  See the book Lost at School for ideas how the school and you can plan the best approach.  Best wishes.  [/quote]
