[QUOTE="Shari, post: 468391, member: 1848"] I think this teacher will do that if we need to. She's already modified the essay for her...I don't want to push too hard too fast, especially with a meeting with the attorney coming up that may change the whole landscape. But teacher and I have exchanged a few possible solutions for the next assignments, including a smart phone with internet access and audio books (Wee qualifies for them, so we could probably get most for Cgfg, also). This teacher also asked about other classes, and I pointed out the others she is failing. She verified that they are reading-intensive classes, and she is not surprised. And I suspect she'll be talking to those teachers soon. This district can be a royal PITA - with Wee, most of them don't have a clue what to do to help him - though we're making progress. Cgfg has some sort of Learning Disability (LD), I have no doubt, and [I]that[/I] sort of problem, this district is good about dealing with, if someone will let them. difficult child 1 made it all the way through school without a formal IEP - just close contact with teachers and working together with them independantly to provide what he needed (and sometimes it was an empty room to do his work in!). And at the high school level, once the teacher found out he had a parent willing to work with them, they were happy to call and work on solutions. Sometimes I wish we could have taken the same route with Wee. [/QUOTE]
