Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Next week will be my daughter's fourth week of school refusal. She is overwhlemed with her work and with the 5th grade girls rejecting her. Our child study team seems lost what to do. And we are caught up in red tape. My daughter has Asperger and NLD and lots of anxiety. Even if I try to treat the anxiety with medication this is another change for her and likely to take time. The more she is out of school the bigger the problem becomes. Moms ...help ...I was thinking my kid likes predictablity. What stops me next week taking her into her small math class and providing her with predictable work she can manage and that's it for the day? The teacher is very nice and kind and would probable allow my daughter to talk alittle about her pets, take some breaks etc. How could the school refuse this? The more we change her programing (the school suggested after school home instruction) the more complicated we make it. I even looked at another school today, but this is another change with kids she won't know. It was a sweet school for kids with LD's but it is a huge change and there is still the work she would be expected to jump into there. I met a wonderful special ed tutor this week and she was saying that the important thing is that my daughter is happy again and calmer. And to not worry at all about grade level work at this point. To build her confidence and get her to a clamer place. What do you think? I'd appreciate feedback so I'm prepared for their criticism.
