Joy, thanks for your kind words.. Your advice is good.. she has been part of the HS marching band, and gets bussed over there after school. Kids from 6-12 grade can belong. We're also looking into bartering for some voice lessons at a local music conservatory for her.. she has a lovely voice! In the meantime, I'm sure all this is harder on me than in her. ...

Barb, Julia does have a 504 plan, but it never had to include extra time to get from class to class in her old school. I do have to call and speak with the special ed coordinator at the school this week.. I'm calling tomorrow. But the tough thing with a kid whoi had an "invisable" disability..... Is that it's so important ti them that they not look different. Having her dismissed a few minutes early sets her apart from the other kids. If she were in inclusion classes, it may not be such a big deal, but in the regular classes, it's a hard call...

I'll let you know how the conversation with the school goes this week, and how she makes out when school starts.
