And do not move!

Our school have been very helpful - there's no funding for him but when the aid comes in to help the funded kid/s, he gets included. They haven't really said that he needs help due to the ADHD - they just assist wherever his special needs are. For example, he needed help with reading - so he was put into the Reading Recovery program. He needs help with writing, so he was placed into the remedial writing assistance program. So they see his specific needs and respond where they can, but don't provide any support for the ADHD as such. He's been lucky, the school listens and has put him with some excellent teachers last year and this year. <br /><br />Thanks darling I'll definitely be in touch. Thanks for commenting!<br /><br />xMichaela Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377224973275947132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351362401051098452.post-39889423915470433362012-04-24T07:33:14.521+10:002012-04-24T07:33:14.521+10:00Are you based in Qld?
