[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 565241, member: 11791"] Ya. Just tossing this "out there", you're probably way ahead of me, but... We found that so much of this "one-on-one support" was bunkum. They were giving individual attention, alright, but not adapting to the difference in learning styles. And THAT is critical. We've had a good teacher (make that a GREAT one) who instantly caught the 'literality' mistakes and turned them around faster than a hurricane spins. Diverted so fast, replaced with a better literal statement, moved difficult child forward. Unfortunately, that was ONE out of.... (he's in HS now...) The aides will keep doing the same thing and getting the same result - and will not modify their approach unless instructed (sometimes not even when instructed!). It can compound the problem.
