[quote=Anonymous]OP again.  DS does have an IEP.  I really wish people would stop insisting that my concern with his participation (or lack thereof) is because he hates it when I've already made it clear that is not the reason.

Also, I am well aware that reversals are common in first grade even in kids without disabilities.  However, as I have stated before, I feel (as his own mother) that FLES (yep, even at a mere 2 times a week) is contributing to his difficulties with English language processing, reading, and writing.  There is research from leading experts in dyslexia that supports my concerns.

DH and I absolutely push DS to do things he hates (homework, chores, etc), but this is not a matter of him just not wanting to do it.  It's is incredibly hard and frustrating for him, and the support and accommodations are not there.  I think it's great that some kids with LD's are doing well learning other languages.  But I'm not sure why it is apparently so difficult for others to imagine that Spanish class 2 times a week with no accommodations could be inappropriate, confusing, and miserable for a child with significant languages based learning disabilities.[/quote]
