Thanks for thoughts. Tomorrow is our IEP, we are suppose to go over the evaluations by the IEP team and their recommendations. I had never heard of SPD, until a few months ago when my son's teacher requested a meeting and told me her observations of my son and the troubles that he was having, she showed me a book on the subject as she said a lot of things with my son reminded her of her own child who was diagnosed in Kindergarten. We took him to our pediatrician, who then sent us to a neurologist who then sent us back to our school to have a full evaluation done. It has been quite a whirlwind the past few months. I am hoping to get some feedback tomorrow on exactly what I can do, to help my son. Homework can be quite frustrating for him at times and I try giving him breaks inbetween problems and pages. For example while, working on his math tonight. We were doing 1 less/more then 10 less/more. The first problem he did quickly and easily (ex 1 less than 55 is 54, 10 more than 55 is 65). The second problem, he seemed to have no clue anymore how to do it, and he seemed to just call out any number, even going higher when it was less (ex 10 less then 26 is 61, 46). He started to have a breakdown. So I gave him a break to draw because he loves to draw pictures and then we went back and went over it again and he was more receptive and was able to finish. Then I gave him another break before we went back to do his writing homework. I worry, cause obviously, the teacher can't give him a break in the middle of a test or something but I'm not sure exactly what triggers things. As he sometimes seems to suddenly no longer be able to grasp what he seemed comfortable with a few moments before.

Thanks again so much for your warm responses
