[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps try posting this in the SN forum? Parents there might have some constructive suggestions.[/quote]

I think this would be a very very bad idea.

There are several parents there who are [b]exceptionally sensitive to the type of question OP is asking[/b]. They have reacted very passionately and very angrily to anyone who posts a question along these lines. My impression is that a question like this would hit a little to closely for many of the parents in the special needs forum.[/quote]

Hello?  People with kids who are SN also read other forums.  Why b/c our kids grow up and go through all the same stuff your kid does PLUS they have learning disabilities, mental health or physical issues.  We may be sensitive but sometimes we are also wise.

OP, if this girl requested a different seating assignment, her wishes needs to be respected.  I agree that you should not be getting into managing a student friendship.  Seeking the help of the guidance counselor might also be helpful.

Now here's where the wisdom of having a kid with SNs comes in.  Every child where possible needs to learn strategies for independence.  This child probably has an IEP, I would consider consulting with the special ed teacher to implement strategies for her to learn to focus, use organizational tips to help her remember what she needs to, and advocate for herself and ask a question of the teacher when she doesn't understand something.

The girls friendship may revive on it's own, but both girls could benefit from a break.[/quote]
