Q My nephew is having behavioral problems with his teacher. The teacher claims that he is a manipulative child. My sister and I tried to solve this problem by calling a meeting with the teacher and the school principal. We also asked for a CORE test to see if my nephew can be properly diagnosed, so we can find some type of help. The school staff isn't helpful at all. My nephew doesn't stay still in class, he always want to be first. He is very impatient and doesn't listen when someone tries to teach him something. Even his doctor says he's hyper. Do you think there's a place where my sister and I can get help for him? A Start with your nephew's pediatrician. He or she can discuss possible medications that may help your nephew with self-control. The pediatrician or the school counselor can also refer you to therapists in your community who can work with your sister and your nephew on positive behavior management techniques. Školský systém poskytuje služby pro děti se speciálními potřebami a váš synovec může mít nárok na některé z těchto služeb. O dostupných službách vás mohou informovat pracovníci Úřadu pro výjimečné děti ve škole vašeho synovce nebo na centrále školského systému. Váš synovec může mít nárok na služby pro děti s problémy s chováním nebo pro děti s jinými zdravotními problémy, jako je porucha pozornosti/hyperaktivita.
Mnoho komunit také nabízí programy pro děti s problémy s chováním prostřednictvím soukromých škol. Pediatr vašeho synovce nebo zaměstnanci školy vám mohou pomoci rozhodnout, kde je to nejlepší.
