Grandson finally living with me. HELP!!!!!!!
Fianally, my 16 year old grandson will be living with my husband and me instead of his abusive parents! GS has been physicially and emotionally abused far too many years. Has severe vision and motor skill problems as results of drug use by mother. Also, severe anger management problems as a result of the severe physical and emotional abuse he suffered from his parents and sibling. He has also been a victim of bullying in his own home. He will enter 10th grade this year. Very difficult for anything to be done in the past as GS parents tell his teachers he is just lazy and doesn't want anyone to interfere with his life.
GS will move from the east coast to our home in California. A fresh start with a new school and new friends.
I don't have much, but this is what I have:
1- doctors. letters stating the physicial disabilities and vision dxs.
2- Psychological evaluation
3- GS responds very well to having a scribe.
4- GS responded very well to 1:1 tutor last 3 months of school.
Questions:
WHERE DO I BEGIN???????????
Our goals:
GS to feel loved and respected!
GS to respect his teachers.
Full-time aide at school to scribe assignments.
Oral testing in all subjects
Modified day
Modified course requirements.
I'm ready to give it my all! I just need to know how to best help my grandson before it's too late.
Thank you!
