[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 231008, member: 2287"] This kind of thing just frosts me!!!! If I had known then (elementary grades) what I know now.....! My difficult child is now in 7th grade. Not until the end of the 5th did we find out there is such a thing as "social development classes". (Not every school district has them, but perhaps something similar....it IS part of the Special Education Dept.). difficult child has been in that class now since the last two months of the 5th grade. HE DOESN'T CHANGE CLASSES. The only time he changes is to go to the gym for physical education and to the band hall for band. School wise it has been the single best decision in all of his education. As you might imagine the "structure" is not interrupted during the day for him to have to transition seven times! First I would suggest calling the school superintendent's office. Initally they will ask if you've discussed this with the teacher, principal, school counselor, etc. at your child's campus. Assure them you have. BE PERSISTANT. If your child is like mine, the distraction of a simple piece of paper on the floor was huge for him and he could not learn in that environment. Normal teachers don't understand. difficult child is in a class with six students (he LOVES it) which has a male teacher and an aide. His lessons are virtually one-on-one, like a private tutor. His grades are excellent....all A's and B's and his self esteem is growing with all the attention. I would give most anything if someone had told me that this class existed before I had to be a witch to the school district. For some reason the SD loves to keep this class quiet. Sounds as if your child could benefit greatly. Check it out! [/QUOTE]
