[QUOTE="SRL, post: 123568, member: 701"] Shari, I think you're between a rock and a hard place. If mom is resistant you would need enough custody to have some weight in decision making. If there are processing problems she needs consistent, professional tutoring (hopefully using a proven program) with support from home to make a difference. Patchwork help from a parent who has limited access to her will only go so far and I'm inclined to say it would be better for you to preserve your relationship with her than to push, push, push on the reading when you likely can only make a small dent in the problem. I'd probably be stepping back until you are in a position to have some leverage in decision making. There's a lot of reading help available in school now due to NCLB and schools in general have never been more willing to help kids. How hard had the school pushed biomom to sign? [/QUOTE]
