Just to let you know with my step son we also did involve the school. We did get him evaluated for the special needs class. They put him in there based on his emotional problems, he hates it but it has also helped keep him focused. We also told him if he could start acting properly in school and doing what he should they we'd consider reducing his time in that class.
Good Luck

I had a chat to his teacher and said that we wanted to support her and that we would like him to be assessed. She agreed and has written a referal to the RTLB's( specialist teacher's) for assessment I returned the form to her today with our signature and thoughts so now we wait to see if they will look at him. We were pleased with his teachers quick response to our concern and demand of a referal. Its good to know that she wants to help.
