Wish I knew--DD's teacher doesn't seem to get it either. In DD's case, she has slow processing and it takes her a long time to get work done, and the teacher thinks that as part of DD's "behavior plan", she should just speed up.
Reminds me of the bob Newhart sketch on mad tv where he is a psychologist who just says two words to his patient..."stop it". Afraid of small spaces? Stop it! Pick horrible boyfriends? Stop it!

It really puts things into perspective...if a kid could just stop having SPD, ADHD, Asperger's, dysgraphia or whatever...don't you think they would?
