School hasn't started for us here yet. As much as I am looking forward to the kids going back to school, I am dreading E going into third grade. I have spoken to the school counselor, and am supposed to get a call from the school psychologist, but I have been told that they really can't give him special services without an official diagnosis. I have been waiting since April to get a call from the neuropsychologist our pediatrician referred us to. Only to find out today that for some reason there was no referal. So, I have been waiting all this time for nothing, the referal will go in now, but I know it is at least a four month waiting list to get in.
Frankly, without special services there is really no reason to send him to school. He won't be learning anything, he will be finding ways to not do the work. And when they try to consequence him he will have a total freak out melt down. But at least I will be sitting here at home enjoying my coffee and not hearing it.
