[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 310181, member: 805"] k, first, don't ever feel that you are "on too much". There is no such thing when you are worried, planning, and thinking outloud about your child. Second, sounds like you feel confident that difficult child has some folks looking out for him in this program. That's a good thing. I don't have any first had knowledge or experience with the cycling, etc., but I wonder outloud if difficult child is being a little stressed by the advanced high school ciriculum. I only question that because I know first hand, with my son, that I did not accept placement in the IB middle school (which he qualified for by virture of his grades, district testing, and SOL scores), nor did I accept placement in the "core" program at his current middle school (which averages a year ahead of the rest of the grade-I suppose kind of advanced placement for middle school) even though his grades and scholar role status in elementary placed him in "core". For my difficult child personally, he excells academically, behaviorally, and emotionally when his anxiety level is kept at a minimum and he views himself as successful. My difficult child is a really smart kid - but I purposely chose for him to stay in the general ciriculum because the demands are not as great. I know that may sound a little odd. He excells in his classes and it really gives him the confidence he needs to reign in the anxiety, which leads to frustration, which leads to aggitation, which leads to behavior issues, yada, yada, yada. Just a thought. I know with easy child, I pushed her as far as I could because she was so "typical" and could handle the stress without side effects. If I even attempted the same with difficult child, it would be a nightmare. Glad they are letting his old therapist do the IEE. Hope something positive moves quickly on the job front. Sharon [/QUOTE]
