[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 353321"] Yes, been there, done that. I would consider a couple of things. 1. Partially homeschool him. It is not that easy to set up, but really appropriate in many ways. Have him attend one or two classes at the school back to back and then pick him up or arrange for someone to take him home. This way he gets some social interaction and wont be out of the loop. But, he wont be overwhelmed by school...he'll get some relief. 2. Do some sort of formal program with him...one that is certified. You can probably google for such a program. It will probably be on-line. If there is a subject that is too hard for you, hire a teacher to help. You might try to get a teacher from the local school. He or she will know what your child should be doing. HOWEVER, I would NOT let this be an on-going thing. Continue or start therapy. Look to transition after one year back into the school system and if necessary, take some Special Education classes. (Re-read Timer Lady's post) You could also use the homseschool year to spend more time with speech therapy. All of this would be part of giving him more confidence to return to school. You need to make sure your life is not kids, kids, kids. Not meant to be this way....just was NOT! Hang in there~ [/QUOTE]
