[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 608765, member: 13003"] I'm going to agree with the principal. :) Here are some examples: 1) he is having challenges with focus... which means that a LOT of what is said in terms of instruction, gets missed. So, he really does NOT know what he is supposed to do, but it isn't because he cannot learn it, it is because in his current state and environment, learning is not happening. 2) perhaps he is dealing with a hidden disability such as Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) - in particular, auditory figure ground. A person can have normal hearing... and not HEAR in all environments. In particular, people with auditory figure ground problems tend to hear [I]everything[/I], and can't filter out the background noise. This makes it difficult or impossible to focus on what the teacher is saying. It takes a huge effort to attempt to hear, success is limited, and burnout is guaranteed, especially in a typical school environment. Any idea how noisy a GOOD classroom is? the scratch of pencils on paper, rustling paper, somebody blowing their noise, the rattle of the heating system, the rain on the window, shuffling feet, dropped erasers... and that's without the more frequent classroom problems, like whispering! Just my opinion but I'm guessing there is more going on than what his current diagnosis list indicates. We made little progress in getting help at school until we got a more complete diagnosis list... and THEN school said... sure, we can do X, and Y and A,B,C,D,E... "we had no idea he needed that"... <I only asked for that stuff for 10 years running, but... > [/QUOTE]
