That’s great that he is getting the help he needs and deserves!
My daughter was placed in a specialized classroom setting her freshman year of Highschool (she is now a sophomore). It was for kids who just didn’t have the capability to sit in normal classroom settings and feel the anxiety of having to keep up with everyone else, as well as all the homework. It allowed more one on one time with the teachers, all the kids worked at their own pace, they didn’t have homework unless they didn’t complete their work in school, and they had frequent breaks where they played games, went outdoors, had “family” time, and were given incentives if they completed their work in a timely manner. It helped dramatically. Until a couple of months into her sophomore year, this seemed to take away so much of her anxiety. I unfortunately ended up having to take her out of this school program and put her into an online school because the closer her court date came, the more anxiety and emotions she was feeling.
The online school has been extremely beneficial for her. She no longer has to dread going into a school filled with peers that caused her anxiety to worsen, and she can still work at her own pace.
