Until 5th grade, my son went to a special ed classroom for math and was taught one-on-one with the teacher. She also had an assistant who was available to read any question he couldn't understand, and the assistant would also write out any answers my son dictated if needed. I think it is the only reason he made progress in math - it's still his toughest subject (computation and homework, not concepts). Is this a possibility?

At the beginning of each year, the teachers also issued me a teacher's version of the math text book so I could help him at home when he needed it.

I hope your teacher is as accommodating.

But more than anything, just wanted to give you a cyber-hug and let you know I definitely understand where you are. Hang in there!
