Hi,
It has been a long time since I have been here. I was reading through what I asked/posted before and came across this one.
The feedback has been right on the mark here.
a) psychologist's report feels that Aspergers may be an issue - to be assessed at a later date
b) they really are each other's best friends and it creates a wonderful cluster group as long as their teacher(s) can use that element
c) the last two years had teachers with vastly different approaches (supported by a change in school principal) who have helped transform the boys into students who are very engaged. It helps that of the 5 other boys in their class are also extremely academically oriented and bright, and that their teacher really understood that they really were actually interested in their odd tangents.
d) concrete expectations help a lot, and we are working on a checking off the list on the whiteboard when they get home (now, if only they can remember to take the key out of the front door and maybe even close the front door).
Thank you so much for your help working this through.
