Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Is it possible for an asperger kid to experience success in gifted classroom without support? I receive an IEP draft before my upcoming meeting. At first they would like to have him held back another year because emotionally he is not ready. He has had support in his classroom right now. To have him in gifted means I lose all the support he has. To have him in regular ed class means that he is taught with everyone else with support, but he is not advancing academically. He is already in accelerating program. He was supposed to be in Kindergarten but moved to 2nd now, but I found recently that while his reading speed is improving, his spelling and vocabulary is regressing. I have been contemplating homeschooling, and had said that I am leaning heavily toward it. Is this still the best route that I should take? I need a sounding board to bounce the idea, so I won't be deterred during the meeting. Any comment would be appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
