[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 492251, member: 1233"] Your daughter NEEDS a sleep study. Get her to a doctor (primary care would be the easiest and is FINE for this part) and get him to order the study. She will go to a place in the evening, have a bunch of things hooked up to her, then be allowed to sleep at a certain time, and they will see what is going on with her sleep. in my opinion is this HUGELY IMPORTANT. Sleep issues can destroy the rest of your life. Then she will meet with the sleep doctor (yes, there are docs who just study sleep, in my opinion it gets patients that can't argue, KIDDING!) and the doctor will tell her ALL about good sleep hygeine. All the stuff that is totally WRONG when Mom says it just might be RIGHT if the doctor says it. Even if that doesn't happen, you will be able to figure out how best to help her sleep problems. Is there a reason she cannot do some/all of her classes online for high school? Most states have that for free and it doesn't MATTER what time you do lessons unless you need help from the on-call teacher. She does need to be tested for learning disabilities esp dysgraphia (handwriting problem - brain glitch between thought and hand) and can get accommodations for that. Many with dysgraphia do very well with keyboards. I have it and I have 2 sons with it, and it can actually HURT to write a lot. Testing can get treatment that can help her overcome the awkward feeling of holding a pen or pencil and it can help her not have her hands hurt so much. MOST IMPORTANT, in my opinion, the testing can show that she IS NOT lazy or a waste or any other awful things she has been told or told herself. It will show she has a problem that can be helped and is as much to be ashamed of as having a cold it. Why can't the school have her do classes on campus in the afternoon and online in the evening? in my opinion it seems quite logical. Most states have an online school for kids up to 12 grade and surelyh seh could do that? [/QUOTE]
