[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 394434, member: 3444"] To answer DDD, the reason was to reduce the stress on him. Stress drive up his anxiety which exacerbates the IBS, which in turn causes him to miss class time putting him further behind, which causes more stress and anxiety, which makes the IBS worse, and so on. I think the therapist figured a lighter load would help. If difficult child 1 could keep up with the homework, he'd probably get a B at a minimum in Biology. And that's without really trying that hard. He likes French and his teacher at school said he was doing well, too. It's just that the IBS set him way back in instructional time and homework assignments. Well, I have about three weeks after winter break to get a letter to the school to initiate the IEP process again and get him a resource class if that's what we decide he needs. I looked at the school schedule and the only time a resource class is 3rd & 5th periods. Regardless, he'd have to drop at least one class to fit resource in because there are only 6 periods and he has 6 subjects now (counting PE, which is the lacrosse team, and he really does not want to give that up). He could enroll in an alternative education program at any time, though. He IS college material, just probably not going into a 4-year program right off the bat because of the level of intensity that would be required. [/QUOTE]
