Q:
my son is in 8th grade and has a reading level of a 1st grader.
my son is in 8Th grade but has a academic grade level of a 1st grader. How is he going to handle high school? on top of having this specific learning disability he also has mental disorder on top of it. he gets so depress over the school environment and the fear that everyone is judging him. and its so hard for the school to take in the fact that they may be educating him but there not meeting his mental needs like when he struggles in computers and I've talked to them about reducing the work so that he gets the feeling of completing a assignment it would boost his confidence.. so i guess my question is how do i get the school to take his mental disorders into consideration when planning his iep? my husband and i are considering home school him...they already have him a a completion track instead of diploma tract.....
