Hi all! Thank you for your input. He has a wonderful classroom teacher this year and his meltdowns tend to occur during certain specials (art, spanish, PE). So, it does seem that some teachers know how to handle him better than others. We have started looking into relaxation techniques and just purchased some of Lori Lite's books (stressfreekids.com). His classroom teacher is also using some techniques from Tamar Chansky's book "Freeing Your Child From Anxiety". The school counselor is not involved at this point. We were beginning to look into psychological evaluation/therapy when we learned that he is gifted. Just trying to sort through and consider everything before we go that route. Thanks!
