[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 144795, member: 2287"] CLB4, I have been that mother. It was horrible. I was defensive and sad and scared and at my wits end. Nothing I was doing was right and the school was calling me and emailing every day. We suffered...all of us (principal, vice-principal, counselor, teacher, sped teacher, peers, and most of all my SON!!!!), Finally......................................we called the superintendent and asked what could be done to help us. SURPRISE!!!!! No one had been willing to utilize the "social development" class that the school district had and we parents didn't even know it existed. Our son had belonged in that class loooong before he was put into it the last two months of the fifth grade (at a different campus). In TWO WEEKS he was a different child!!!!!!!!!! Why no one ever suggested it, I have no clue. My child is now in the sixth grade SD class and he LOVES it, I get no calls nor emails, he's making all B's and is a happy twelve-year-old. Despite their intentions, I doubt he'll ever be mainstreamed. His ADHD is so severe he can't do anything in a regular classroom. PLEASE if your school district has such a class, discuss it with his mother. SHE is suffering far more than you are...not to mention her precious little boy. Been there, done that. [/QUOTE]
