[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 252279, member: 1233"] Would an aide be a good thing to ask for? either the presence of one in each classroom or a 1:1? Occupational Therapist (OT) is definitely something he should have. It is helping greatly with thank you's written work. Does difficult child 3 type? Could he use an AlphaSmart for any written work? Or start learning to use it this year in the sped room BEFORE he is in a reg room for any core classes? I always wanted an aide for Wiz more for the lunch/recess/before&after school times. Never got one but he would have been MUCH better off with one. The aide during these less structured times can lessen anxiety and help keep bullying behavior away (from difficult child AND from other kids). Those times caused more problems with Wiz than any other time, simply because he registered it as "adult-free, no supervision time". HAve you asked difficult child 3 what HE thinks would help him participate more and do more school work? Has he been tested for auditory and receptive language problems, as well as every other learning disability? I always think of those when a child doesn't do the work. It may be so tough to sort the teacher's voice from other noises in the classroom. Having had times when it seemed like I had no filters in my ears to keep certain sounds out, I can tell you how hard sorting the sounds can be. Every sound used to be at roughly the same volume, so I heard the people in the hall, the kid in back saying snarky things, papers rustling, the wind, pens being dropped, the teacher's footsteps and what the teacher was saying ALL jumbled up. For me it was worse with any sinus problem and I grew out of most of it, but it was a huge problem. People with this problem often don't say anything because they assume it is what EVERYONE hears all the time. So testing can be helpful to identify this and any other problems. Just a suggestion.
