[QUOTE="slsh, post: 217203, member: 8"] Hi Lillians and welcome! Glad you found us! I would let school deal with the school issues. I know Canada's system is different than in the US, but they still have to do their best to educate her. If she has behaviors in school that are causing problems, I'd certainly work with them on how to handle them but I don't think I'd bring them home - meaning, I wouldn't give her consequences at home for stuff that happens at school, especially since it sounds like she's defiant at home over home stuff. Does that make sense? At 16, is the school working on transitional living skills at all? Lifeskills - how to get a job, job training, voc. ed., how to open a bank account, etc. Here in IL, an IQ of 50 would qualify an adult for services for the developmentally disabled - is there an equivalent type of program in Canada? Supported living and employment? I realize she's not an adult yet, but (thankfully, LOL) those last 2 years do go fast and I think it helps a bit to know what services are out there as she hits adulthood. Again, so glad you found us and welcome! [/QUOTE]
