That's great to hear, Lisa. It really does sound like things
might work this year for your DS, and I certainly hope so.
BTW, thanks for this thread--I have been thinking quite
a bit this week about whether I should try this in some
cases in the future, and did start to draft something
just to see what it would look like. Since we're at
private school, we don't have an IEP, which would let
me just focus on the possible issues that might arise
and how best to deal with them, rather than necessarily
getting bogged down in the various proposed (mis?)diagnoses.
I still think that in our area there are a number of
people who would just be turned off by something like
this, though, so maybe it could be something I shared with
people like the teacher you're dealing with now, who
show some interest in trying to work with a different kid
and seem receptive to suggestions. Although in my experience
people have either been willing to try and generally 'get'
how to do it (and so don't really need much advice), or
they have absolutely no interest and just want us to go away.
But I'm glad it worked for you, and it's worth keeping in
mind. Thanks again, and good luck!
