[QUOTE="nvts, post: 66283, member: 3814"] Oh relax! Worse things are going to make you feel like a lousy Mom! [img]:smile:[/img] There's a thing out by Leap Frog called "Fridge Phonics" . It's a little box that you put a letter in, push on the letter and it says "a says "a", a say "a", every letter makes a sound a says "a"". It's a little musical and attention getting. Give him the letters in ABC order so that he'll eventually get the pattern of the alphabet. Leap has lots of things on the market that you can check out. If he's remotely into anything technical, this could really help you out! Contact the school and set up a meeting to get an IEP in place. You can get much more information on the IEP process on the Special Education forum. Have you had a non=educational evaluation done by a neuropsychologist? This could be integral for a diagnosis for him. Remember, if he hasn't had a clinical diagnosis for a syndrome, autism, learning disability, etc. and he has any of these, you could be getting services to help him ramp up rather than frustrating yourself and him. Seriously, don't consider yourself a failure as a Mom. You have the love and sense to see that he's having trouble and THAT alone makes you fabulous! Good luck! Beth [/QUOTE]
