Jahmeir 2nd grade ending

Overall I can't say I'm completely happy with Jahmeir's 2nd grade academic year. In fact he seems to have regressed in reading, which was his best subject. While I feel that his teacher was very nice, it was clear she was not capable of dealing with a student with Jahmeir's needs. I think it's important that teachers receive trainings about ASD because kids with ASD are not necessarily in special education in fact a large population of them are in the general education classrooms but struggle with the social piece. Jahmeir's attention has been a huge issue this school year and its seems to become harder and harder for him to focus and follow through with a task. It's also very frustrating for me as a parent and at times I think I push him too hard. It probably has alot to do with the culture aspect as well because african american parents tend to be in extreme denial about our children's disabilities and struggles and we look at it as a fault of ourselves which turns into frustration and sometimes anger. (Side Bar)

I think I am going to move Jahmeir to a new school for 3rd grade with a different population and see how he does. He needs a smaller classroom size where the teachers is not overwhelmed and I know at least most of his needs will be met. Call me crazy but I will do whatever it takes to ensure my son has a good experience in school as I know as he gets older the challenges he will face because of his difference will become harder and harder...
