[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 309931, member: 1550"] He can get a 1:1 aide. Frankly, I found my son learned more, both socially and academically, in a small class and I wanted him there. He's mainstreamed now, but he's 16. We just got his midterm grades and nothing is below a B. He has a few friends too. But he basically learned how to make friends in his small class. He was actually in the small class half the day and mainstreamed with an aide the rest of the day. His interventions/social skills/help for speech and his Occupational Therapist (OT) were all free through the district both in Illiniois and WI. Shouldn't cost you anything. They kept telling us our son fell short too. It was baloney. He had it. We had to fight hard to get the label to get t he help. The older he got, the more "different" he seemed to be. It's hard to get the diagnosis. often with young kids, but the earlier you get help, the better the kids do in the long run. You are right that without a diagnosis. there wiill be no help which can lead to the child being seen as "bad" and you as wrongly being seen as a "bad parent." Even with one, you have to fight, especially if the child is bright, but you can do it. We did. Baby steps. :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
