We are scheduled to have Brandon's 3 year school evaluation. I am nervous, his school psychologist said he did great at the testing and may not need services for Language Arts. WHAT??
This scares me so much and truthfully I want him to fail. Doesn't that sound sad? However, when your child is smart and bright and can mimic his world he does appear to be much brighter than he is. However, he is very much like a 5 year old on so many levels that people don't see. They see a child with ADHD or spoiled child that doesn't seem to understand but that is far from the truth.
He is a child that can be 13 or 6 or 8 or 2 years old. You just don't know when it is going to happen and what is going through his mind. He doesn't know however, in a school setting where they look only at the academics he does great. But he is a child a small scared confused child that comes home and rants and raves because he does NOT understand the outside world and it is hard to explain it to him.
So what do you do? You pray he falls apart and does not pass a class but that won't happen with what is in place. So do you take away the wonderful bubble they have him in at school and see how he does? He will thrive in a bubble and when the teachers know what to look for but he won't if you take it away. He will come apart and he will lose focus and he will get bullied and sadly can be abused because he really doesn't understand things like they think he does.
It is so frustrating to watch. Our meetin is schedule next week so I will know more then more than I know now. So we shall see.
But they won't hold him back if he is succeeding but he is succeeding because of the help along with doing it with help..... not in the classroom and not on his own.
I never said my child was dumb or stupid, he has a disability that is invisible becasue he looks and socially acts more than he is. He puts up a brave face and smiles and can repeat what you tell him but not really understand.
Will update when the meeting is over.
