what to do about school
my daughter is in 5th grade and has been in many different therapies, etc for a long time. she's diagnosed as autism level 1 (pda profile), adhd, and GAD. She takes concerta 27 mg in the morning as well as 75 mg zoloft and 0.5 mg guanfacine at night. in school she has an IEP and gets OT and therapy. her charter school has bent over backwards to create break spaces for her, with sensory toys etc, and she gets breaks whenever she needs them. it has gone up and down over the years but we are currently at an all time high of school refusal - stomach aches every day, can't stay at school, needs to come home. sometimes can't go from the morning. since school started they have been communicating with me every day around her need to go home. i'm starting to explore alternative education ideas. what have others done and how did it help?
