[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much depends on [i]why [/i]there's a developmental delay. I work with a middle school kid who has real deficits in certain areas and does OK in others. Parents are convinced this kid will catch up. I can't see it happening; in the areas with deficits this kid is falling further behind, needing significant curriculum modifications.[/quote] I disagree entirely. People like you iften write off certain kids who can and do make significant progress like those with FAS. [/quote] And i disagree with you. I have a young adult kid - what was asperger's (at the time), adhd, & dyslexia. These deficits don't go away. We learn to manage them and/or work around them. They are real issues that won't just go away.[/quote] Nobody said they go away. The point is can these kids graduate from typical schools etc. and ruling that out at 6 or middle school is ridiculous barring far far below standards. [/quote]
