[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 150819, member: 3413"] Hi, My difficult child is exactly the same way. We never put an IEP in place, but here's what we did: -In Kindergarten, during language arts, he was sent to the 3rd grade classroom to study with them. He was allowed to go ONLY if he behaved during the day - this was kind of like a reward for him. Sometimes he was also sent to the library during that time of day to work on these computer tests called "advanced readers." He had a lot of one-on-one time with the school librarian, which was really nice. -In First Grade, he was put in a 1st/2nd split classroom. -Now that he's in 2nd grade, he's in a 2nd/3rd split classroom. Does your school have split classrooms? Ours are only split when the population of the school works out that way, so they aren't guaranteed, and there are only a few spots for the younger kids in the split. But I've been successful lobbying to get him in there so far. The splits have been great for my difficult child because he needs grade-level math instruction even though he is at a high school reading level. Is your son doing well in standardized testing? If so, you might try to use that as leverage: "We'd like to get some special accommodations put in place, because we'd hate to take him - and his great scores - out of public school and into private." At least here in CA the school's overall scores are tied to the reputation of the school, and even real estate pricing in the neighborhood. [/QUOTE]
