[quote=Anonymous]DS was identified as dyslexic in November, got his IEP in January, and started having extra support in the classroom soon after. However, at this point, he is refusing help from the spec ed teacher placed in his classroom because he does not want to be seen as different or needing help. He also works with the reading specialist (with whom he has always been very engaged) but has recently started having a poor attitude with her because he doesn't like to get pulled out of class. He already sees the school counselor for poor self-esteem due to his reading struggles. He shines in so many other ways (he's athletic, funny, popular, empathetic, etc.). I'm really at a loss with what my role is/what to do. I've talked with the support teacher about how to engage him (suggested taking him to the gym to shoot hoops as an incentive after successful effort, etc). Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated![/quote]
