[QUOTE="Malika, post: 551381, member: 11227"] Thanks, Ktllc! Yes, I do know a bit about special education here (and how theory and practice are two different things). It's kind of strange in that you have to get your child registered as "handicapped" and then you will be allocated aides and financial assistance. Some areas seem to accept ADHD as a handicap and others not - you have to show that the child is handicapped by more than 50 per cent (all very arbitrary!) and it all depends on the dossier you present. To be honest, for myself I'm not worried about reading at all at this stage. I don't think he's ready or interested and I'd leave it for another year. But he goes to school in a system where he is supposed to be learning it now, or beginning to learn. I'm not even in favour of homework, which I think is a really dumb idea, certainly for primary school children :) But you have to go with the flow, Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
