I've been an every day reader and I can't tell you how much it has helped me.
I am meeting with the psychologist tomorrow to plan my DS8's testing. She has asked me to bring some samples of his work. What exactly do I bring? Art projects? Writing samples? Report cards? Standards assessments? I was hoping to bring his journal from school -- they would write every morning but it seems that the school didn't send it home at year end and I really can't go back and get it since we left the school not to return.
The answers I am looking for are school placement (what environment would work best) since we have totally messed that one up. We pulled Mr. B from public in Nov & put him in a very small private school (6 students including him 2nd - 9th). He has high anxiety & is really awkward in social settings. He was making wonderful progress in play based therapy but the therapist had some pregnancy complications & had to stop abruptly.
I am concerned that there may be some sort of spectrum issues. He shows some traits of aspergers but not all. Some traits of ADHD but again not all. The director of his last school, who claimed to be able to work with 2E kids, dismissed every concern as my DH & I spoiling him.
I don't really know exactly what I am looking for -- maybe just some handholding and telling me that it's not entirely hopeless --
Thanks for "listening" to my ramble.
