Child with behavior problems
Coming from someone studying to become a school psychologist, I find it
appalling that ALL school psychologists are being classified as someone who doesn't know what they are doing. I am going to an amazing school with wonderful school psychologist who believe that a child should not be labeled at all if possible. With that being said.... Research your child's school psychologist if there is one. If you meet with her and don't feel like she is "getting you", then I would suggest trying something else. A school psychologist can be a wonderful FREE resource without having to go spend thousands elsewhere. Also, not all school psychologists are itching to give a child a label. There are wonderful things called Functional Behavior Assessment Plans and Behavior Intervention Plans that are used for regular education students with behavioral problems. Then the school psychologist works with the teacher (and ideally the parent) to enforce these interventions in the classroom and at home. Anyway, bottom line... Check out these things before you start looking for special schools for your children to attend. Once a child is labeled, it sticks with them forever so you have to think of how things will be way down the line in the child's life On Jan 20, 11:19*am, Angel Toledo wrote: Hi, I have a 5 year old with behavioral problems. I wouldn't say he's hyperactive, but he love throwing tantrums in school, in stores, at home. Just about anywhere. He's driving my wife an I crazy. We were wondering if there is special school for kids with behavioral issues. We live in Queens, NY, and although chances are slim that someone in this newsgroup would know specifically of any schools in our area, we would like to know what to look for. What questions should we be asking? Or is it just a matter of parenting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

IME every school psychologist that we have seen has been worthless. Then they risk having their get labeled and drugged for life. no they don't. i was DX'd by a school psychologist as schizophrenic/manic- depressive. i'm not any of that. i am autistic. the school psychologist wanted my parents to remove me from the public schools & put me in an institution. yeah, that would have been a real good idea a real psychologist, especially a pediatric developmental one, will be far less half-baked than anyone working for the school system. it's the school psychs that push the drugs. lee The psychologist will milk money from the family for a few years then say they can't help and refer to a psychiatrist who will label and drug. Also being autistic is just too trendy right now for me to take anyone seriously when they say they have it. You should not even be here having a conversation if you are truly autistic in the classic sense of the word. How about you go read up on autism and Asperger's syndrome before you go spouting off about how trendy it is. Where are your credentials in developmental behavior, psychiatry, psychology, medicine or *anything* that would qualify you as to write off *any* condition that someone you don't even know says they (no doubt having been diagnosed by someone with more brains in their left boot than you) have? (Holy run-on sentence...sorry!) Oh it's trendy! Oh more people have it nowadays? Maybe *cancer* is trendy! Maybe cancer patients shouldn't be labelled and drugged! Or Alzheimers, or anemia, hell maybe even peanut allergies are entirely too ****ing *trendy* for you to accept. Go educate yourself before you belittle and **** on people on something you obviously know **** all about. (Yes...I swear. A lot. Get over it. I own and work in a redneck bar. And I have a 3 yo son who's been recently been seeing a team of people with degrees who know he has developmental problems, and *may* be autistic. OH MY GOD! *No one* has mentioned drugs. In fact, *no one* has mentioned money!) Get a life Stasya (who takes bull**** from no one....anymore)Oh ok everyone is an idiot savant now. Must be something in the water. I could not possibly be due to good marketing on the part of pharmacuetical companies.- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - Oddly enough, my son hasn't displayed any 'idiot savant' tendencies.
