(like oral comprehansion) I went to a seminar this summer where as a teacher, we learned how to build on strengths and then find methods to help students build confidence in the weaker areas. Truthfully, some people are weaker in certain areas and the best they will probably ever get is a "C" in the subject. (Kind of like me and math seeing a "C" was one of the happiest days of my life...I could get my college degree! You seem like you and your husband are doing everything you can do so he can succeed. Good luck at the conference.<BR/>Peace,<BR/>DivaMz Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778043076619087809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29121681.post-74591846447482791792008-01-16T20:44:00.000-06:002008-01-16T20:44:00.000-06:00Well said Maggie, I agree.Lynda, your son is a spe...Well said Maggie, I agree.<BR/>Lynda, your son is a special gift that will just take a little more time to develop (you have the love and patience to help him succeed).<BR/>Don't look at what he might loose but what you will both gain through this trial.MamaFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581737368708159441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29121681.post-76698563893253611692008-01-16T17:03:00.000-06:002008-01-16T17:03:00.000-06:00Good luck, Lynda.

Thankfully your son has really great parents who do try to stay in the loop and will take the time to help him and also, most importantly, advocate for Ryan to make sure that he gets what he needs. It makes a difference because sadly, as you already know, the schools aren't always very proactive. Go forth, Good Mom!maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084143630207764529noreply@blogger.com
