[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 217174, member: 3444"] Awful, schmawful. Take that back! I can appreciate your wanting her to move on to more age-appropriate stuff. But I don't think you can rush this if she's not ready. Perhaps with time, that relationship with the girl a year younger will foster broader interests in your difficult child? My difficult child 2 tends to gravitate towards younger kids, too, so I know how it is to have one that's behind in social skills. And my difficult child 1 is still collecting Yugioh cards and playing Pokemon video games like there's no tomorrow -- and he's 14. I figured he'd be on to more typical teen stuff by now (music, skateboards, girls) but he's not. As for the art class thing, if that's what really floats her boat, then why not. But I agree that the aide needs to earn her paycheck. Are there specific duties for the aide written in difficult child's IEP? Perhaps that would be the best way to address the role of the aide. I don't have much experience with that, but I've seen some aides at our elementary school that don't look too busy and it bugs me. And there's not rule about how often you have to post here... so no more beating yourself up over it! Lurk as much as you like. Post as often as you want. [/QUOTE]
