[QUOTE="Shari, post: 106904, member: 1848"] This is an outside gymnastics class, not school related at all. I originally wanted to put him in a private lesson, but the director wanted to try this, first, since its much more "budget friendly" (which it is). There are only 2 other kids in the class, but difficult child 2 just can't maintain, he's all over the place. I think it could work if someone were on the floor with him to redirect him while the teacher is working with the other 2 kids, but its not working as it is, and teacher keeps taking away and punishing and difficult child ends the class in tears cause he's so bad, which is not the point (this is supposed to be a positive outlet for energy, not teaching him to sit, be quiet, and follow direction - and we'll go private if that's what it needs to be). But when I tried to talk to the teacher last night, he blew off any "reason" for difficult child's behavior. He can punish til he's blue in the face, but its not been effective for anyone else in eliciting good behavior from difficult child. The director really wants to give this small class a try. But I need to get this teacher on board or it won't work at all. I guess I'm thinking if I can hand him that report with the "74" highlighted and tell him despite what he thinks he sees, this is what he's dealing with, maybe he'd get that's there's more to it than meets the eye. And that's all this guy needs to understand for now. I just want to make sure that my understanding of "functional iq" is correct, and that it means that he functions at the level of a person with an iq of 74. [/QUOTE]
