Had Conferences

We had conferences this past week. It went good, except for Jacob's. His behavior is really getting in the way of things.(potty talk, pretending to pee on things, etc)All for attention. He needs small groups and they are taking away his resource room for reading(they had already moved him to regular class for that within the first month). But now they have to remove it from his IEP. He still has math there--but really doesn't "qualify". Writing and social skills (which he definitely needs!!) Academicly---he never did qualify for resource, except for the needs of social skills. They can't challenge him there. He is right on grade level.

They are going to do a behavioral plan for his current behavior problem and try to get him in a very small 2 to 1 group for math. (there is a 4th grader who is alittle behind)

I wish he could just be in small groups all day. He probably wouldn't have any of the behavior problems. He is much better and gets his work done.

They also said his attention is not very good. She doesn't know if it's from his ability to not process info fast enough--so he's already lost before she is finished explaining things. Or if his mind is already gone thinking about Legos, Star Wars, and whatever is "stuck" in his head that day (last week it was going to Legoland for his B-day---What???) This weekend--it's asking me every few minutes if we can be on "Opportunity Knocks" game show, so we can win alot of money so he can buy thousands of "Clones"(Lego). Or "Deal or No Deal". I learned "Patience" a long time ago......

He is already maxed out on his ADHD meds. So I don't know what we are going to do next...
