[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 362796, member: 1550"] Marg, you are right that it's individual. I am very lucky that L. goes to a small school that respects all kinds of kids and that my fight for interventions worked. I'm NOT a shrinking violet though :raspberry-tounge: and had no problem addressing the issue with the State Dept.of Education who made sure the district did what it said it would do. I am not a good teacher and I did homeschool L. for a year, which I feel was wasted. He also wasted time in a private school that did not acknowledge his disability...I feel that for the most part religious private schools are not helpful for our kids here since they don't have to help kids who have learning differences., but we gave it a whirl. It was hit or miss and this public school turned out to be a big hit. In Wisconsin, we can choose to send our kids to schools that are not in our district. So I shopped around. I did not want my son in a class only for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids and he was in a class (only halt the day) for kids who had all sorts of learning issues and because he was smart he became a leader in the class and he was thrilled being able to have that role. It gave him lots of confidence. He had an aide if he needed it for the other classes. She sat in the far back of the class and nobody knew the aide was for L. and, in fact, she was there for several kids who may have needed her, but she taught Lucas a lot, such as how to see the big picture rather than focusing on every unimportant detail...and how to organize and takes notes. That helped for later on, when he was able to handle mainstreaming. And every step of the way, I hung around the school making sure they did what they said they were going to do. And they did. And I became good friends with L's teacher and aide too, which helped. Other homeschooling problems: A lot of people work full time, taking the option out of the picture. [/QUOTE]
