Thanks, InsideAut. I will try to make sure I'm cutting him some extra slack.

Marci, I don't think homeschooling is a good option for our family for a lot of reasons, most of which have to do with my own lack of ability as an effective teacher and general lack of patience. I wouldn't be at all confident that I could take that on successfully. However, we are planning to have me become a stay-at-home mom this fall, which will allow Owen to go to part-time preschool and half-day kindergarten. I think scaling back on classroom time will be good for him. He'll have the next two years to mature, do his OT and hopefully when he has to re-enter the classroom on a full-time basis he will have more ways to cope effectively. If he still struggles in first grade we will have to see what our options are, but for now I'm optimistic.

His OT introduced listening therapy last night and said his initial reaction to it was fantastic. She's on vacation next week, but the week after we will be taking the equipment home with us to do that 30 min/day for two weeks and see how it goes.
