He is also a finalist to win a cash prize for his poem. I like ... |

| Ckay, they HAVE to work with you . Please check out the Wrightslaw site and familiarize yourself with your rights. It doesn't sound as if they're remotely providing him with an appropriate education. You might do well to discuss your situation with an advocate. Here are a couple more sources for you... |

| Hi, we've recently experienced similar problems with our son. He is in 3d grade. A couple months ago he began being very aggressive at school -- hitting, pushing, biting -- and throwing tantrums. We went through a period of almost daily calls from the school to come get him, or to try to help calm h... |

| You're right. So often, accomplishments that are huge for my son don't always seem huge to me (like going two or three days at school without shouting out in class, for instance). Sometimes I need to really observe to see what he's doing to appreciate how hard he's worked to achieve some of his succ... |

Also went after a kid on the playground with a stick. He was actually suspended from school for a few days, and since he's returned his int... |

I’m on the hunt for a couple of the books mentioned upthread, and I hope to introduce Noah to the Kids section of this forum later this week. He seemed intrigued by the idea of meeting other kids like him. This looks like a place I can ... |
