Sol,

Thanks, yes he did go through the program, and they sent questionaire's for a year or so, but at the time, I was just willing to let him veg and lick his wounds. Now I'd give my left arm to remember who they were.

I'd forgotten completely about them until I clicked on a link someone posted. So I am going to have a busy week making calls.

It's not only about his abilities, but also about his social interaction. I'm sure that you're familiar with it, he'll do things like make a joke, that makes absolutely no sense, and someone will politely laugh. Then he'll repeat it until they're so annoyed they won't speak with him.

There is the cruelty of other children. I've always tried to make home the most wonderful place in the world. So no matter what is happening out there, at home it's all good. When I could no longer answer the question as to why kids where that way, I had him see a T. Long story, not great results.

And you are exactly right about the IEP's. The school he was looking at was ITT, not a private school and therefore did not have to make allowances for his disabilities. The guy we talked to said that they'd let him in, but it's fast paced and he was not likely to succeed based upon his reading levels and HS IEP information.

And you have just given me a BRILLIANT IDEA!!!! Kisses to YOU!!! His LD teachers were excellent, I'm sure that they'll know the program he attended for job training and where he can get assistance. YOU ARE A GENUS! And you do God's work!

Thanks to all, and I'll keep you posted. I have a really good feeling about this, and I have not in a long long time!
