[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 234209"] Check with the school's guidance office and perhaps with a couple of teachers if you know them at all. Both of my son's tutors (easy child still has one) are Special Education teachers. The mainroom teacher's have almost always had a suggestion. Cost was a little high; about the same as one dinner out for all 4 of us at Outback or Red Lobster. But it gave me two nights free of any homework battles at home - worth just about any cost at that time. We couldn't do Sylvan or any of the other programs with difficult child since just getting him to sit down and do the homework to begin with; extra work was not an option. The best part, it took the heat off me since a couple of these teachers were friends were their primary teachers at school. Someone else from the district was able to see it "wasn't me". :winking: They also spent many evenings sorting out his backpack and helping him organize since husband and I even touching it would lead to an instant meltdown. In the end, it got difficult child though grade school; it didn't work in middle school. FWIT, I wish I had realized after a certain age that I couldn't save him or make him do anything, I would have detached and walked away a lot faster; it would have saved a lot of gray hairs and sleepless nights. Even if it would have meant failing for him. We learned a hard lesson (difficult child and us) that only difficult child can help himself. [/QUOTE]
