Thanks Sia. I was just sitting here thinking of this option. I recently met an advocate who is excellent with the LD stuff but rather confrontational and doesn't seem real strong on the 2E front. It may be worth hiring her to help us understand and prepare even if we keep her in the background and continue working with the school ourselves.

Has your school tried setting up a working group with a couple of highly social, sensitive kids to work with your ds? Maybe lunch once a week with the social worker or school psych to facilitate?
