[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 457761, member: 11847"] We went to the open house yesterday and we talked to the teacher and TA. We did explain that nobody heard us last year, that he is in therapy with more testing to come (hopefully soon). They seemed to really listen and the TA actually was quite knowledgeable (she knew how Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) can mimic the asperger's symptoms). Although we are not crazy about the school, husband and I feel it is in fact the best option. They also said that even if the school district did not find V eligible for services, they will start their own process and might put in place services within HS. I mentioned how helpful it is to have a "retreat" at home. A place where he can go when he feels overwelmed so he can calm down and find a happy place again. They seemed willing to have one at school as well. I really tried to explained that "small changes" do make an ENORMOUS difference for V. That once the learning period is over, it really is not that hard or time consuming to do. They just need to really try to think the way he does and have slightly different expectations. I can't help being worried though.... it breaks my heart when V. tells me he "feels bad all the time", although he recognizes that he can feel good when he spend time with family (parents, grandparents, uncle mainly).
