Fang,
Here in my area a child like yours would qualify for special school services. We have classrooms and whole schools that are dealing with students who have ODD, unmedicated ADHD, Depressions and a host of other issues. That is what I have done for the past 4 years but on the elementary level. When I feel my students can not be successful in a typical school setting I have the option of placing them at a special day school where the ratios are much lower, there is a much more therapeutic approach to their day and they still go home at night- escorted. Do you have schools in your area specifically for students with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities?

I'm glad you guys talked. Once they talk it helps, even if just for a little while.((hugs)) You are the strongest person I know. Your child is so lucky to have gotten you for a mom. A lot of other moms would not have done as well as you have for him.

TT,
Is she on an anti-anxiety med? My son struggled and we saw a counselor for a while. He explained the whole "fight or flight" concept to my son and it really helped him to understand what was happening in his body. He decided to try karate, which affords an energy release, builds confidence, gives him routines to practice when he's stressed. It emcompassed all the things he was "inventing" to do when he was freaked out but channeled them. Does she have an outlet?
