[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 590150, member: 8831"] it doesn't have to be all or nothing....it IS overwhelming to be expected to go back to a full day after being home. if it were [I]me,[/I] i'd ask the psychiatrist and school to continue with the home school (for actual education) and modify his day to a single, in the actual building, class. just one. pick the one he either likes or excels at. there will be no changing classes as of yet...but I would try to do it in a way where this week is one, next week is two (where he has to physically change to a diff class) and so forth, with a ton of rewards and positive reinforcement to keep the momentum going. and since that will put you close to the end of the year, i'd request his 8th grade schedule as soon as possible to help him perhaps meet new teachers, practice the change of class or whatever else he's worried about over the summer--many schools are open longer than you'd think due to summer programs, sports and administration working there. but for now, start with an extremely modified day to ease him back in. and don't let anyone tell you that "it cant be done"...
