[quote=Anonymous]Our DS has a relatively rare invisible illness. His (highly competitive) school does not understand his illness and is unwilling to learn about it. He has good days and bad days. On bad days, he will sit through class and not do any classwork and won't remember the day. On good days, he'll get an A+ on a test for which he never studied (b/c he forgot about the test). He's a bright kid and doesn't need or want an "easier" school, but he needs more flexibility. He is good about working ahead and doing his homework on good days, but there are days when he really cannot do anything. His schedule is packed with required school electives and I don't see it getting better in high school. Anyone have experience with a school that is willing to work with a kid with medical issues? Yes, his illness is technically a disability, but I prefer not to go down that road and force accommodations that the school isn't willing to make. [/quote]
