This won't help much at all, but I just wanted to let you know I totally understand - this happened with our ds and his teachers too. I think it's really a good thing that you have a teacher this year who agrees there's something up, and that she's suggesting a team meeting. Even though by the time you've met there isn't going to be much of this school year left, you'll have a team approach started and in the works, rather than having to start at square one next year, where you might not have a teacher who sees the problem.

Sending you tons of good wishes,
