[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I want to reduce the number of days of PE because PE is not a productive period, is stressful, chaotic, and leaves him tired for important targeted skill-building activities like swimming lessons after school.  My child already looks different due to coordination difficulties and some of the behaviors that that environment elicits. Has anyone gotten permission to get "credit" for outside fitness as a replacement for some PE during the week?  If so, please share how you went about arranging this.[/quote]

OP here:  Well, my child is a little bit like some of these: https://www.google.com/search?q=snowflakes&client=firefox-a&hs=nWJ&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=DqHrU6eWOsS3yAS90oLgCw&ved=0CCEQsAQ&biw=1068&bih=615#channel=sb&q=real%20snowflakes&revid=1943360354&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&tbm=isch&imgdii=_

He is beautiful, sensitive, complex, shines under the right conditions, and can melt down when stressed.  In my world, we try to reduce unnecessary stressors to save energy for the inevitable other stresses and challenges that come from having special needs.  I am ultimately responsible for my child's development and it's up to me to decide which battles to pick and what is important.

This forum is for parents of kids with special needs.  If you don't have an answer to my question, and if you lack the imagination even to know there might be situations you haven't experienced or don't understand, there is really no need to respond.  [/quote]
