[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 585570, member: 11791"] Well, others will have far more good info for you, but... I caught one huge red flag. What, exactly, are they giving him for interventions and accommodations in EVERY single subject for his writing problems? An alpha board is useless for math. The amount of effort it takes a kid with dysgraphia (which is what this will be... trust me) is so totally massive, that they are destroying him. been there done that. We... told the school that difficult child was not allowed under any circumstances to use pen/pencil and paper, or any variation thereof. Either they came up with technology that worked for every single subject, or they gave him a full-time scribe (not an aide... a scribe... someone who does all the writing, not a baby-sitter or behavior interventionalist or any other garbage). It took two years to sort it out. And that's just ONE issue? Any chance of finding a good advocate to bring in on this? [/QUOTE]
