Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional PDD-NOS/anxiety and starting middle school

Polarbear,
I have a request in for ds to get a certain teacher for his 'home-base' teacher. This teacher will be his 'home-base' teacher for the next 3 years. She'll be the one to remind them of normal schedule fluctuations, get them started for the day and such. Other than that, we won't know who his other teachers will be until July.

I sent an email to the school this morning and requested a special meeting in August with all of Ds's teachers. I figure as soon as they know who the teachers will be, they can set it up. I'd like them to meet ds and for him to see where each classroom will be before school starts.

Thanks again for your reply. It's nice to talk to people who are going through or have gone through the same things.

Because ds is exceptional at figuring math and science problems, it sometimes takes teachers a little while to see and understand the struggles he has.
