So ... I have updated some on T's progress on Vyvanse ... but none of her teachers gave us much feedback. Friday her reading teacher said she had not been taking the Reading Counts quizzes for some reason. I have been insisting for a couple months that T IS reaidng at grade-level .... and they had been getting zilch out of her for reading at school. It has been immensely frustrating to me, as you can imagine. So, I gave the teacher the name of one of the grade-level books she has been reading ... one that was in the program. I had asked her a little bit about the book, but not much detail. She took the RC quiz on it and got ... NINE/TEN!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I have been soooooooooooooo worried about her academics! Thats AWESOME That's great!!!Way to go, T!Daniel's main problem is comprehension. Great news, Way to go T. That is wonderful news!!!I have a kind of similiar situation here where ds seems to be able to read (he is non-verbal so no one knows for absolute sure, but he will respond correctly when asked questions about book), yet in school - they cannot get anything out of him. I often wonder if some of it has to do with the pressure put on them in school??? Do you think it was the Vyannese?? casey -- no it is NOT the Vyvanse -- in fact we are taking her off it today! Her teachers say she is anxious and emotional and "foggy" on it. We thought she was improving at home, behaviorally, but the only reason she was on it was school. I am considering discussing trying ritalin for her in a very low dose -- I have read if amphetamine based meds don't help, sometimes methylphenidate ones will ... I think it is just that our kids learn in lurches and bursts. ETA ... that reading score was just b/c someone INITIATED her taking a test. She had not TAKEN ANY ... (see my grumble aobut IEP and teacher comments in the ed forum). |
