[QUOTE="bigbear11, post: 518099"] Many of you have asked about school for TRex. We have been thru public, private Montessori, homeschool and finally to a private school for kids with Learning Differences. There are about 6 kids in her class (all with ADHD.. some with high functioning Autism) and a teacher who is very willing to make modifications to ensure TRex learns as she learns best. So it is a great setting for her. Academically, she does well in school but admittantly she is not a grade level. Her ADHD really makes it hard for her to concentrate and do her best and we have really struggled to find something that takes care of it. (The Straterr and Kapvay work well but still room for improvements but stimulants for her was a VERY bad thing). Socially, she is sweet and helpful but gets silly alot and doesn't always catch the social cues. Luckily everyone in the school struggles with that to some degree so that is something that they talk about often. Starting to realize that some of the "mouthy" stuff and moods are hormonal... god help us! She turned 9 earlier this year. She has been using deoderant for about 6 months especially in summer and have just noticed hair growth. You have got to be kidding me!!!! I know this will add a new challenge to staying in control. Looks like it is time to up my Lexapro dose ;-) [/QUOTE]
