[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 45495, member: 2322"] Going to school half days has been a godsend for my son this year. I could get him to school (with a lot of difficulty) but he would often refuse to work. Now medications have helped too, but the half day has been key to getting him to work while he is there. School had no problem with that, since they still get their money. Aides are paid by the hour where we are, so in principle, the school could hire a half day aide if that is what it took. Would it be worth experimenting with your son whether he would go later in the morning for example, or would go if he could come home earlier? Do you have any sense why he will go some days and not others? I like the idea of having a routine, if that is possible, of my child knowing when he is supposed to be at school and when not. Could you try something drastic, like only an hour a day to start? Then increase it gradually? I aslo told my son that he if wanted to stay more, all he had to do was get the school to call me. good luck. [/QUOTE]
