[QUOTE="Red Chief, post: 333178, member: 8776"] Hi, Thanks for the responses. daughter is seeing a therapist. We try to get her in once a week. Unfortunately daughter hasn't seen her much over the past month, because we've spent so much time at the hospital. I have played the therapist card many times. It has definitely helped in the sense that the teachers know that we care for our child and are doing everything we can to help. When she goes back to school, I'm aiming for one of the public charter schools. There is no way she is going back to the regular public school! I do like the suggestions given. When she goes back, I will definitely check into an IEP and a 1:1 aide. Of course, no one has ever suggested anything like that; we only got a 504 program after the therapist suggested it, and even then the school acted like we were being a pain. She liked the private school (my wallet didn't), but they just can't provide the individual attention she needs even with the smaller class sizes. Plus they didn't have a 504 or anything like that. The teacher did her best to work with us though. Best case scenario, she'll be back in school within a month, worse case will be the start of the next school year. She is in no shape to go now. I've found a computer based curriculum that should be good for her. She loves to do anything on a computer, so I'm sure it will keep her attention & she will actually learn. I will supplement with other work to make sure she actually puts pencil to paper during the day. I am leaning toward homeschooling for the rest of this school year though. She was diagnosed with some sort of math dysfunction during her original testing, so she's still behind 4th grade level in math (still doesn't know her multiplication tables). I think I can work with her and get her back to grade level by the end of the year. It was the plan all along for me to go back to work when school ended. It was just easier for me to be at home, for transportation reasons, and also so I was available if the school needed me. I want her to go to school for social reasons, but has anyone heard if it is possible to get disability or Social Security on the slight chance that I homeschool her next year? wife's logic is that she's been kicked out of two schools already, and I may be entitled to aid if I have to stay home and teach. Thanks all! ______________________ Shout out back to you Star! [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wampanoag"]Wampanoag[/URL] on Mom's side & Pottawatomie on Dad's. [/QUOTE]
