[quote=Anonymous]If your DS has friends and plays sports, that’s huge. I would try to keep him with his friend group rather than move him to a new school where he doesn’t know anyone. To me, having friends at school is incredibly important for teenage mental health and more important than the academic aspects. Rather than move, maybe you could consider getting him some after school tutoring and counseling to help him feel better about himself. Soooo many kids have disabilities in one form or another. He needs to not label himself as “sped” like it’s so negative. It’s just a small part of who he is and it doesn’t have to undermine his future.[/quote]
