Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hi everyone, Getting ready for our annual IEP meeting - 's parttime in a substantially separate classroom, parttime inclusion (inclusion time about 40%, including science and social studies). The biggest challenge I'm hearing from his teacher (who is great) is his focus. His attention is very fleeting / scattered and he needs almost constant redirection to complete a task. He cannot complete a simple classroom assignment independently at this time, even in the small classroom. Teacher tried a token system the second half of last school year, with inconsistent results. We have purchased, and are just beginning the " Play Attention " system, but that produces results slowly (which is better), so I don't envision seeing any real effect in the classroom until at least January. He is currently taking prozac, tenex, famvir, erythrocin, nizoral and immunovir. Tried wellbutrin and effexor with BAD results. Dr G is suggesting increasing the prozac from one 10 mg tab per day to 1 & 1/4 tabs per day, which we will start when I get the refill tomorrow. Where you're all on the " front lines, " too, any other suggestions for things that might have worked with your kids in the classroom as they continue their recoveries?? Thanks!!
