[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is terrified to be in school, is Virtual Academy not an option?[/quote]

Absolutely not.  It just feeds into the problem.  The VA just isolates kids more.  He needs to learn how to cope in public places.  Including school.  [/quote]

You have two very different issues and this is mental health related.  It sounds like you need to take them for a mental health evaluation and therapy to address these issues and as an in-between consider the MVA if they will allow him in.  [/quote]

I'm not the OP.  This was the course all of his therapists suggested. But I guess you might be an expert on something you know nothing about?  The VA is not a place to stuff kids who need other support.  [/quote]

Actually I do know and some of us have experience with that school.

And, that may be what your therapist said but maybe you need a new therapist for your child as you need to treat the mental health issues and then address the school issues but forcing a child to go to a school that they are unhappy with is not going to get them to want to go to school every day.[/quote]
