<p>im special ed...and struggling w/ a class that is impossible to do good in b/c i cannot get right help my teacher has cancer...and isn't around as much as i need..im in college somewhere my parents never thought i would attend...let a lone thousands of miles away and im becoming a disappointment to them...making me cry...my boyfriend + best friend are my rocks both special ed my bf a little more then me and has a book written about him actually...we both are very happy and i want to stay i just cannot seem to get help any ideas</p>
<p>have you spoken with the HA in your dorm? they should be aware of the supports on campus</p>
<p>I would start with an appointment at with a counselor at the Student Health Center or the Disabled Student's Center (if you are registered there) to deal with your feeling that you are a disappointment to your parents. Then I would make an appointment with the assistant Dean of the department that this class is in and explain how your teacher's absence is affecting your ability to succeed this semester. You would be amazed at the options Deans have at their fingertips. If it is just this one class, perhaps you can make an agreement to take an incomplete during the last week of class and then finish up next year when your professor is (hopefully) back. Some schools will let you "freeze" an incomplete forever: it does not get figured into your GPA, but it does show on your transcripts and usually you can NEVER repeat the class (so it has to be an elective, not a major requirement). One thing you should know: whoever helps you at will have seen your same situation before and will have more ideas on how to deal with it than you. Universities always have back door/not widely publicized policies to help kids out of difficult situations. Good luck.</p>
<p>im not at the DSS...b/c im in program a ADHD one...i dont get services b/c we have very no exams....i sit wherever i feel comfortable in...but this also is the largest class ive been in since public school(attended 10th-12th grade in special ed private school i was fortunate to attend) im in Counseling at the center like usual its doing nothing for me...i have anxiety anger and frusturation issues which ive been told is connected too my PDD</p>
<p>after a 15 minute conversation...we've agreed on withdrawing...so i can succeed in all my classes otherwise...we've decided since i will b working at a day camp over next summer and work doesn't start for a month and a half after finals are over i will make up the 3 credits at a local university near home</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
