[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 593681, member: 11847"] Yeah, if you could find the name for it. It would be real great. I don't think there is any magic cure but if I can name it, it might be easier to explain to whoever works with him n the future. As far as getting an aid... not going to happen anytime soon. He just received an IEP but it is only for 2x 30minutes pull out. The teacher did insist it'd be like a tutoring session with at most 1 or 2 other kids. She did not want him to be pulled out every day and be with the other Special Education. kiddos. She said he is just too advanced for a group like that. Once again, I feel V is the odd ball. The day the school really understands how his autism affects his life (sensory, concrete, organization...), he would learn a lot better. I'm obvioulsy glad V is high functioning, but sometimes it feels "too normal to get help, not normal enough to thrive". I was contemplating getting a tutor, but I'm afraid they (it actually is a group that has a bulding in town) won't use methods that fits his way of thinking. If it is not done in a concrete visual manner, it will be a waste of time and money. I don't know... I want him to really learn at school and I focus on homework. Can't do school after school. Simply not a good idea. My bet: he will enter 1st grade and have forgotten almost everything... I really don't know what it will take the school to "see". He is not a disaster. And maybe that one hour/week will do wonders? Or open their eyes to what is really going on? I'm actually very curious to have the opinion of the resource teacher. Someone that will work with him on a consistant basis. Only the people who spend enough time with him get to see his challenges. [/QUOTE]
