Also the school system thinks he is at a level of a 18m old I disagree he is smart but the education system keeps saying he dumb and instead of teaching him and me / they blame him and me. Im not stupid but I had reading and spelling problem along with math that I hated. Growing up in a large family didn't help any I felt un loved and didn't fit in and still don't / mother walked away leaving me to be sole parent. I am in a County with no money, No jobs. I have another son with his own problems but not as bad as his brothers. My family lives 60 miles away, services there maybe better Reece but then my other son will be punished as school system would fail him

I'm sorry.. I don't understand why you won't learn sign language? I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable. But, if one of the ways to communicate with my child was sign language.... I'd go to the library and practice words in front of my child.

Pecs is a wonderful thing, as is signing. You as a parent know your child better than anyone, if you feel he is ready for something of this nature then it's time to push. If the school isn't listening to your requests then you need to get with an advocate and discuss your situation.
