I have a hard time beleiving that my 9 yr old daughter should be in special Ed. She was born with apnea and actually died nine times the first day of her life. There is a chance she may have suffered some minor brain damage, or even have dislexia, or ADHD or even be a little autistic. I have had testing done, but none were conclusive. Anyhow, she is in the 3rd grade and pretty much functioning on a kindergarden/first grade level. She is a beautiful sweet lil girl thats sits quietly in class and mimics all the other children, pretending to read, and do her studies. You would never even know it til you see her work. The ARD commity decided to put her in special Ed. She has been in Special Ed since 1st grade. Now it seems she is getting further and further behind, and they dont seem to care. Now they want to put her in life skills classes, so she will be able to survive in life. I visited her special Ed class, she appears to be the only one in there without a severe disability, and I dont feel she needs that. Why wont the school help us find out what the real problem is? I dont want her just pushed through to graduate not even knowing how to count money or read!!!
Any advice here will be greatly appreciated.
