man - I have a lot going on with regard to Ben in school or Ben AND school. Is the inclusion classroom really right for him when he has so much trouble getting through the day? Should he feel bad and sorry and sad EVERY DAY? Should I allow my kid to sit curled up at the end of the day crying and apologizing to the teacher that he was BAD today? No - this ain't cool. There has to be SOMETHING.
I am not the only one thinking or blogging about this subject, though. I have just read about three-four other blogs on schools, LRE (least restrictive environment), homework, socializing, having trouble in class. Cripes. I'm not alone. I'm not alone.
I'm. Not. Alone.
There are things out there I can do to help Ben better than I am now. My eyes have been opened to possibilities other than Inclusion and the Mainstream. Hell, I'm not really a mainstream gal (Or at least I wish I wasn't!). Need to turn my thoughts to actions, I believe! How to do that is the question. I am going to let the new behavior plan in his IEP take effect and try it out for a few weeks. (Maybe until Christmas Break). If it isn't helping, then we have to look at more accomodations. See - I know all these big words now!
Holy crap. I'm not alone.
