[QUOTE="bran155, post: 225503"] Hello and welcome. I agree with the others with regards to getting another opinion and revisiting the CSE board. I wanted to talk about the IQ thing. I wouldn't worry to much about that for right now. My daughter's IQ, is around 80. At first, way back when, 10 years ago when we first got that score I was a nervous mess about it. However, she did fine in school. She is a bright girl and quick learner. All through school I was told she is completely capable of going to college. Her IQ is not what is in the way of her education its her behavior that hinders her. She did have an IEP and did get services while in grammer school. She was in a mainstream class with resource room as an extra, her grades were pretty good. She was capable of learning in a regular classroom until she got into middle school. That is when she went into Special Education, but not because of her learning abilities it was becasue of her behavior due to the mental illness. So try not to put too much stock into that dreaded IQ number!!! That does not mean your step-son won't succeed academically. I just wanted to share that with you. You have found a wonderful place here, the parents on this site are AMAZING!!! They are so full of knowledge and kind words. You will get lots of good advice as well as support. Finding this site was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Hang in there and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
