My son is always hyper!!!! lol Before therapy when he was younger he would jump across concrete on his knees!!!! Scared me to death! He used to just RUN all over!!!!! He loved gymnastics he would get excited and hand flap a bit, but he was doing good with being patient. His skills were not so good because of his vestibular. He is very clumsy and with being impatient he did not take the time to actually pay attention. that was fine because he just needed to do it. I am sure your son was just so excited that he could not contain himself! lol That is a good thing!!!

Hey, don't feel guilty about watching tv and eating, I do it!!!! You also have to regain your sanity in order to be at your top level. Let him sit and relax for what ever amount of time you think, use a timer and when it goes off he goes to do his homework while you are still making dinner. If he needs help he can call for you. Maybe try the yoga ball or sit fit cushion for at home while doing homework as well. He might need that input to keep his mind moving to get his work done. You can make him a little cubby to do his homework at with two folders taped together and set it up so he is not distracted by anything else going on around him.

Don't be too jealous of the 504 and IEP! lol You still have to fight like hell!!! My son's school is an all inclusive because the director of special ed does not believe in having kids sit one room all room all day with other children that have similar issues. They need the socialization with other children that do function at a normal level, just the difference is the teachers will cooperate with the OT anyone else that is on your child's team. I wonder if you could convince the teacher to put his homework together in a weekly packet that is handed in at the end of the week. My sons teacher does that, it's a whole class thing, but there is not that demand of having it in the next day. So then we do two pages a night, sometimes there is extra something, but it is not so overwhelming. He knows the routine, two pages a day ( sometimes I can talk him into finishing it up so he has the rest of the week with no homework). Then you know how to plan your afterschool/evening. It just makes me so mad when teachers do not cooperate and try to make adjustments for the child so they can be successful.
