[QUOTE="SRL, post: 6482, member: 701"] My school district starting throwing out the word retention very soon after my son started missing parts of days due to anxiety. Mind you, this was for a kid that was ahead of his peers in nearly every subject--you can just imagine the scene that would have been had they tried to retain my son in first grade who was reading at a 5th grade level and could spell circles around most of the 5th graders too. [img]:wink:[/img] Some things that can be helpful is to make sure that you have had her seen by an MD to write a supporting letter that these absences are due to anxiety disorder (a justifiable medical reason) and not just truant. It also might help to get the ball rolling for a homebound instructor if she's truly not able to handle full days right now until services can be put into place for her. You will also probably need to play hard ball with the school about getting her assignments/make up covered. Once you get that certified letter sent then you can get the counselor to work out a plan with the teachers because of the pending evaluation. [/QUOTE]
