[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 215705, member: 1550"] Hi there. What do you mean by "pushed himself?" Is he very depressed or unstable? If so, he is probably not able to push himself. I know that when I had depressive episodes, I could barely get out of bed. When I did, I couldn't concentrate. It's common to be unable to read a book when you are depressed. You read, but you don't comprehend. Why would he have to be sent away? Can they put him on homebound until he is better? Are his medications maybe causing severe cognitive dulling so that he can barely think? Unfortunately, that can also happen--Depakote made my daughter unable to do her work. She called it "my stupid pill" and finally wouldn't take it. Make sure your child really CAN put forth the effort. It may be that he really can't work his hardest right now. School maybe shouldn't be top priority at this time? I remember the times when there was nothing I could do in school but stare, and nothing computed, and I didn't do any of the work. I wasn't being difficult; I was mentally numbed from the endless black hole, and I couldn't attend to what was going on. But you know the situation and I don't... [/QUOTE]
