He is in the normal classroom with a slightly modified program (simplified tasks and reduced work load) with some assistance from a shared teacher aide. I think the general classroom can be a bit overwhelming for him but his IQ is above 70 so he doesn't qualify for special education. We finish term in three weeks, when we have a two week break which marks halfway in our school year. Seth is hanging out for the holidays!

How old is Seth again? Does the school downsize his assignments? Sveta is actually very good about doing her homework as long as it is not overwhelming--- but her schoolwork is at her ability and pushes her only enough. Hang in there-- isn't school almost out for you guys? Ugh, I feel for you. How old is Seth again? Does the school downsize his assignments?

Hang in there– isn’t school almost out for you guys?
