[QUOTE="Christy, post: 158865, member: 225"] Glad your meeting went smoothly, but sorry to hear that the academics are such a struggle for your son. My son is also behind academically and his behaviors were so disruptive at school, even in a self-contained classroom, that he did little classwork. I was so concerned about his reading ( I was a reading intervention teacher) that I homeschooled him this past year. It's been tough but what I did learn from the experience is that my son can learn despite his behavior and learning disabilities. It just took finding the right teaching strategies. Push the school to find ways to make learning easier for him. If he can only do 5 math problem, be certain that they are correct. Have an aide or parent volunteer work along with him and correct errors as they arise so that he is not practicing the math opperations incorrectly. Your son's reading problem will require systematic phonics instruction as well as fluency practice. Be sure they are providing a specific reading intervention program with measurable results during the pull-out time. If you feel that your son would learn the material if given more time to do so, have you considered retention. An extra year before middle could be beneficial especially if he is getting the reading help he needs. I noticed from your signature that you are a teacher, can you ask the school to borrow a reading program to use over the summer with your son? Is summar school offered in your area? Christy [/QUOTE]
