I've been AFK for quite a while due to an major increase in my workload. In the past months, DS(11) is finally starting to show those great leaps Grinity suspected would come in time.
He is now soley in the gifted program, working with teachers that he adores and that really get him. His focus and organization remain a challenge but one that he now recognizes and is willing to take some direction.
It was a long time coming but we are all enjoying the current circumstances

thanks for all the great advice andgood wishes!
