[QUOTE="bramblewoodbabydoll, post: 308669, member: 7938"] I was in Special Education. From 2nd grade to the end of 4th grade I stayed in my sped class all day long every day of the week and it was one of the best times of my life. I learned so much more than how to read and do math. I learned compassion for those who are different. I was loved regardless of my inablity to focus or as other kids called it 'stupidity' by my teachers who were excellent. Much like the previous reply, the teachers made it great. I got lots of one on one and we played games, got great rewards and had parties... I only experienced anxiety, depression and shame in school before I went into sped. Granted I was much younger when I started it I was relieved when school was no longer a terrifying experience filled with grief. I got to succeed! It was amazing, just to succeed for the first time. 2 years in kindergarten and nearly a whole year of failing in 1st grade... Success had only been something that others could experience, never me. I cant tell you how good it felt to do well for a change and belong. Dont worry, this could be his big break and he probably doesnt even know it yet. It broke my mothers heart to know something was 'wrong' with me but she was an advocate for me in elementary school, she went to bat for me all the time and that is what I remember about those days. You have not ruined anything. It will be ok in the end- if its not ok then its not the end:happy: much love -brambles [/QUOTE]
