[QUOTE="daralex, post: 125058, member: 4467"] I would be leary of teaching him what his "label" is and calling a meeting to drive that thought home. When situations come up I would slowly explain that he has a learning disorder or some other phrase you're comfortable with, and that sometimes he may need to take a different path to getting things done than others his age. Empower him to be a self advocate and to learn tools and cues that will help him along in life. Teach him he is special because he has to try twice as hard as everyone else and that will make him stronger. Don't teach him to be his label - teach him to rise above it. Just my 2 cents. -dara [/QUOTE]
