[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What everyone seems to forget is that kids have missed basically almost 2 years of school. This child hasn’t been in school since 4th grade and now is trying to navigate MS emotionally, socially and academically. Schools need to press the pause button on academics and foster the social/emotional needs of their students because they will not learn until they feel safe and cared for at school.

OP- I think this is a symptom of something larger that is going on. How are things socially for your child? Any big changes in at home? What feedback have you gotten back from teachers? Is it the right school environment for your child?

IF you think you may need a full neuropsych I would recommend MindWell. Both my kids were evaluated there and we were happy with the entire process.

Kids have not missed two years of school except if they chose not to participate.  So much academics has been lost on the social emotional nonsense.  Get your kid help and stop hurting our kids but neglecting their needs and expecting schools to parent them. [/quote]

Social emotional nonsense? Are you kidding me? I hope to God you’re not a teacher. [/quote]

Hi OP here. Thank you for the thoughtful response. I have not done a neuropsych eval but maybe should consider it. Thanks for the suggestion. Socially he is probably behind other boys his age. No concerns from teachers and they say he operates with very high executive functioning. [/quote]
