[QUOTE="mammamo, post: 125822, member: 4676"] The state board of education in your state should have an attorney that can assist you in getting your child the help that he needs. Alot of times school systems just don't want to deal with these matters but that is just to bad they are required by law to do so. You are not failing your child at all. Sometimes you just have to go a little higher up. Modifications can be made for children ie Instead of 4 choices for a multiple choice question they have 2 which makes things easier for them and does not cause so much stress, or instead of 50 problems to do for math they have 25. Another option for some kids are something similar to SRA learning (in my day it was called this.) These are packets that children do at there own pace. One thing teachers ( I have two sisters who are teachers and I am not cutting down teachers at all) need to realize is for instance if a child has ADHD their thought process is alot different then ours. They need a little time to process information, also when someone is asking them a question and they are distracted it would be like you and I sitting in front of a TV and clicking the remote continously. Their brain is going a mile a minute. Alot of teachers think the child is not trying or just does not have a high IQ quite the contrary I worked with a student with ADHD for 3 years who became the validictorian of the graduating class.
