[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 195457, member: 2423"] I agree with Sue about having your son excused, possibly through an IEP plan. When my older daughter was around that age, she was having high anxiety that resulted in somatic complaints (headaches and stomachaches). In science class, the students were required to dissect some creature (can't remember what), and the very thought made my daughter extremely nauseated. I asked for a doctor's note to excuse her from this activity. She was given alternative work instead of the dissection. With maturity plus therapy and medications, my daughter's anxiety has diminished to the point where I think she could handle dissection today. Had we terrorized her with it when she was at a point where she couldn't handle it, I suspect we would have ruined this part of science for her indefinitely. I have no qualms about the decision we made then. I hope you are able to find a suitable solution for your difficult child. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
