[QUOTE="buddy, post: 513692, member: 12886"] With budget cuts etc...there is a huge push not to see kids with simple artic issues in the school for the very reason you mentioned. Most of us push that though because at least for us old timers we have seen the connection to reading/writing challenges. But for s and r sounds....in MN there would have to be several other sounds out too....no child would qualify in grade K for only an S since it is still within normal range to be developing an s sound....not in a school setting right now but I think as a stand alone sound they have to be age 9 before they can qualify. As a mom though, if I saw a connection to how my child actually heard that (many can hear the s/th in others so do not have spelling errors...it only affects their production of the sound) I would be aware of it and work on discrimination activities....you probably saw enough to work on it at home anyway. It would also be a red flag to me connecting to other writing challenges. It is probably good you are working with him because he could be one of those guys who falls thru the cracks with more subtle learning issues that end up looking like behavior problems alone. you probably have heard this already, but many kids with more mild issues (at least relative to obviously disabled kids) do well through to grade 3,4 or 5 when the level of material takes huge leaps linguistically. In a school setting there is also a huge leap in terms of being much more independent and navigating socially on their own to a higher degree. I only mention it for awareness sake in case your situation changes in the future. Glad you have some new ideas to try. Sometimes it is just enough that WE are re-energized. I find I can face the same challenges much better when I can come here and let it out. Hope you feel that too. I think you and any military family who has unique learner needs to work with are really to be admired. Thank you as a family for your service. [/QUOTE]
