[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 503192, member: 11791"] Yes, somewhere he is reflecting a reality. Two possible small accommodations that you might bring up to the teacher - maybe not even at the same time. 1) a mid-morning snack... uneven blood sugar works against mental effort, and if J does have even mild fine motor skills issues, this could be a factor. Even "a glass of milk" would make a huge difference. Is there any provision at the school for the "younger" kids to have a snack as part of their day? (I'm thinking K to grade 3.) I pack a snack as part of lunch... and it has made a noticable diff for our difficult child for years. 2) For fine motor skills work, a slight reduction in the number of repetitions OR shorter workling periods with something else in between. Either one will cut some of the fatigue factor. [/QUOTE]
