[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 590745, member: 11847"] Wow. You have A LOT going on. I'm glad you found your way back to the forum. It always helps. I would suggest you set some priorities. The things that will be at the bottom of the list will just have to wait. I would think that graduating this year would be priority. Your kids and their challenges are not going to disappear so might as well be done with college as soon as possible. Could you sign up for respite for all 3 difficult children? It would give you some quiet time to work on your classes. Since all 3 have official diagnosis, insurance should cover it. Do you have friends, family or a babysitter who could take the 2 easy child's so you know they are being taking cared of while you concentrate on classes? The next thing, do your difficult children have IEPs? If not, you might want to launch the process. It is a lengthy one... But besides writing a letter and attending a meeting, it should not take you too much time until all testings are done. And by then, you would have graduated and *maybe* have more time. I am curious: what do you plan on doing once you graduate? Will a fulltime job take the place of studying? My third questions: do your kids benefit from private therapies to actively work on their respective issues? Gosh, you have so much going on! Maybe at one point, some tough choices will have to be made... (career wise). [/QUOTE]
