Thank you all for your posts. I means so much to me to have a place to go where people "get it". Just to update, I did call a team meeting. My husband was able to attend, which was great....united front and all. Before this meeting took place I spoke to my son's counselour and explained the awkward situation of over hearing my son's teacher. SOOO before our meeting the counselor spoke to her about it. I figured that was the best route, as I want any conversation I have with the teacher to be about my son, not me.
The change in that woman was pronounced to say the least....sunshine a fairy dust all around. I might be reading into things, but I swear his work was coming home with alot more positive feedback than before. I still don't think she gets him, or ADHD for that matter, but at least there was an acknowledged difference in her attitude. Example of her not "getting it": when I asked about peer interaction she volunteer the observation that he just "doesn't seem interested" in choosing a classmate for partnering assignments....her point being that he's just not a social kid. WRONG. I looked her square in the eye and said, "Are you kidding? He is extremely interested but has experience rejection enough that he tries not to seek it out. The is very typical of kids with ADHD and dealing with their social challenges". I swear if looks could kill I'd be dead! (especially because the counselor chimed in and completely backed me up....nicely...but the teacher didn't like it.
The other development has been going to the Pediatric Behavioral Clinic for ADHD at University based hospital. I was able to get a script for Tenex (my pediatricians office says they write scripts for Clonodine ONLY). It has been a positive addition.....but I admit I get a knot in my stomach when I think of this poor kid on 2 meds. I hate it...I'll do it so long as it helps him, but I hate it.
THe doc said DS could be on Vyvanse and Intuiv at the same time.....not too sure about that one.....but I do see the benefit of Tenex
again, thanks for listening
