[QUOTE="Malika, post: 553948, member: 11227"] Oh, say away, Terry. It's not "my" school system :) We can't see things forwards, only backwards. With hindsight I would have put J in an alternative school from the start but I didn't know all the things I know now, about him and about the system. I saw the child psychiatrist this morning. About the most constructive discussion we've had, I don't know why. She seemed open to possibilities but said that she wouldn't recommend taking him out of school, simply because he is happy there, wants to go, and socialises there. It was where he was building his personality, she said, which I kind of agree with. She says she will ring the teacher on Friday to discuss J and try to get him to take any pressure off. Meanwhile she says we should be seeing a speech therapist but they are all booked up... Also they are going to start seeing J once a week in a group with three other children. For the first time, I feel as if someone is giving us some support and taking J's issues seriously. Is this because he is getting older, approaching 6? If they can take all pressure off him at school, and I can maybe do one of the fun computer learning to read programmes with him (which she receommended), maybe it is as well for him to stay. Oh, and she also said she reckons this so-called semi-global reading method is a disaster and she has loads of people complaining about it... [/QUOTE]
