Hi,

I had these saved under " school, " hope they're still good, haven't

clicked on them in a while!

What trouble is he having at school, if you don't mind saying, as

we've all dealt with different schoolwork, OCD behaviors, etc., with

the school and might can offer specific suggestions.

Hi there and welcome. I wanted to mention the book " Teaching the Tiger " which

is a spiral-bound manual written by teachers for teachers of students with OCD,

ADHD, and Tourette's. It is full of suggestions to accommodate and minimize the

sorts of problems these students frequently have in the school setting.

A good video your daughter's teachers may watch is " The Touching Tree " which

offers insight into OCD and how it can affect a child.

Hi,

If you call the OC Foundation, they have a great multi-media program

for parents, teachers and school personnel. If you receive their

newsleter, it is mentioned in the most recent one and will tell you

how to order it, or check it out at their website

http://ocfoundation.org/ocf1150a.htm. I think they still have some

of these packets at the reduced rate due to a grant they received

which helped defray the costs of the first 500.
