[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 243419, member: 6546"] Hi There! As parents, we always look to academic challenges first--but I wonder, as I read your post, if there is something non-academic going on in class. Is your son comparing himself to one of his classmates? Is that why he feels he is not "smart enough"? Not smart enough for what--or compared to whom? Is he afraid to try for fear of not being as good as So-and-So? Is he afraid to try because he is afraid of making mistakes? Is the very supportive and 'protective' class making him feel like there is something wrong or different about him--thus the protective attitude? I think I would almost explore the emotional side of school being "torture" for him before I would make any adjustments to his IEP. Just my two cents... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
