[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, yes.  We are definitely addressing the anxiety no matter what, starting now.  We won't wait and see if a school change fixes it.  [b]I just also think we're going to have to start the school change process[/b].  Where we are now isn't working, and from what others say it gets less nurturing next year.  [/quote]

Been down this road with a child with similar issues. Changing schools will not be the band aid you are looking for. The anxiety and social issues will travel and in a smaller school with fewer kids, can actually get worse if she does not fit in to the social dynamics of the class. Best thing to do is to start with therapy, get a neuropysch eval so you know what you are dealing with, possibly medication. Make sure you provide some kind of  outlet after school for social interaction so she feels part of something socially, an activity that she is good at and enjoys. Finding a like minded group will give her confidence. Once you identify what is really going on, then you will find if you need to change schools or not.[/quote]
