My story is similar to urs I have a 7 y/o boy,adopted from Russia - his birth mom was a heroin addict and had Hep C. He has extreme difficulties at school He has been violent, and runs out of the classroom on a daily basis. He is struggling with-reading & writing. We're going for a formal assessment soon. My belief is he has ODD and is dyslexic. Considering home-schooling?
I have no idea. With our kids taking them out in public seems to be a challenge just when we have to lol. I think it would be a great idea, im in Texas. I found a home school one for my area with kids with special needs. They do field trip outing often and I'm thinking of taking mine to one and see how hes does. Wouldn't it be great to able to take our kids out with families that actually understand our kids !
I just joined the website and loved your story. Does anyone know of parent groups that meet (like AA and Al-Anon) where we can just discuss? I'm in Central NJ and can't find any such group. Since I am also a member of Al-Anon, maybe I will have to start a group!
