[QUOTE="Fran, post: 210637, member: 3"] I think it is going to be different for each difficult child depending on their level of ability. As my son got into his teens and was stable emotionally, I used his peer groups as a ruler. I tried to keep him as close to the peer group as he was able to handle. I made accomodations along the way at each and every step. He got almost all the experiences his peers got but I'm not sure he got why. I absolutely make provisions for him to function. There are simple rules. Safety nets are in place and we understand that he does not get our world. He manages the best he can. It would be cruel to expect someone with different abilities to manage like one fully capable(Marg's example of a person without sight) On the other hand you wouldn't want to not have any expectation. Think Helen Keller. I have been looking for our Anne Sullivan forever, to unlock the door to understanding in my difficult child. Hang in there. The learning process for difficult child's is varied depending on the difficult child. [/QUOTE]
