[QUOTE="lmf64, post: 301220, member: 7736"] I have just completed typing up my notes from yesterday's meeting, but now I need to go back and add something about me refusing to allow him to drive unless he earns the money to pay for driver's ed (it's not a school class), completes and passes the class, passes the permit test. With a permit he can't drive unless he's with an adult so at least that way he's supervised. So maybe I'm bending, but not breaking. HE WILL NOT get his liscense and be able to drive unsupervised until he is 18. Besides putting in there that he has to earn the money and pay for the class on his own says ain't happening folks lol. This kids gets $10 a week for mowing at my parents house and can't hold on to it long enough to even drive home. He has to stop on the way home and spend it. The class is $250 and therefore it ain't happening. I know I'm mean, but I can't completely crush him. Triple J, In my notes I asked about text/voice computer programs. I know there are such programs, but don't know if this district has any. I also said I'd be willing to research such programs if the district doesn't have any. And Thank You for your word of encouragement. I don't expect that my son will be able to catch up like that, at least not that fast, but he is smart. He just can't read. His verbal comprehension is phenomenal. The district tried it for one class when he was in 6th grade, before we had this coctail of medications on board and I would like to try it again. I asked about him taking a shop class, as he enjoys building things, but think he needs to do it without other students in the classroom at the time.
