[QUOTE="marianna37, post: 166766, member: 5347"] Hi, Matt reads exceptionally well. He is always in the 98th percentile and is commended on that. He started out in pre ap algebra I this year and was lost from the get go. He missed 2 months during his pysch hospital stay, many days from sickness, and a few days from truancy. We did move him to level algebra but didn't see improvement. The online curriculum has extensive tutoring videos to get more competency in the concepts presented. I think he would do all right if his motivation is there. Our biggest challenge right now is the "attitude" and the sense of entitlement. I'm also trying to step back more and not be a "helicopter mom". I want him to feel ownership of his issues and to develop inner resources and competency of his own. My advocate has been an invaluable source of information and support as we began the process of having Matt evaluated for Special Education. She has been awesome! If it wasn't for her I would still be trying to be "nice" and letting the school tell me what they would and would not do. ("Oh, we don't offer anything for Bipolar or Adhd children. Oh, he is so smart and capable of doing the work. Oh, he has conduct disorder so we don't have to serve him...") [/QUOTE]
