Special Education

It seems like a certain birth-control-deficient young lady never learned to cut with the veins, not against.

There is a girl in one of my classes she is one of the greatest people I know, but she has down syndrome. When she found out I take karate she was very interested and wants to take it aswell. I am just worried about her because she becomes very depressed when she can not succed at something ( there is not much that she can't do but participating in gym is real hard for her), almost suicidal. I don't want to make her unhappy. I have heard about people with special needs suceeding in karate. I just don't want to hurt her. Should I encourage her to take it or suggest she find another activity she is interested in?

I've often heard adults say working with special kids is extremely rewarding...now that i think about it though, i don't understand what they mean? i mean, these kids will make little progress and it just makes you sad to watch them...can someone explain to me why the experience is so rewarding? thanks

My son is now 17 and has been in special education his entire life since the age of 2. Problem is, even after all the testing that has been done, he's never been diagnosed with anything! If they could just tell me, "it's autism"....or "it's aspergers", it would be such a relief! Any suggestions? We live in Virginia...I'm not sure who to turn to to get answers. He has no friends, and he doesn't drive yet..don't know if he'll ever, partly because we don't know what the problem is.

Hi folks. After some years on P2P, I am going joining you all. Our son Julian is headed to high school next year. He is currently at Campus middle school. Any of you have experience with your kids with autism at CCSD high schools you're willing to share? Julian is non-verbal, has cp and seizure disorder and ocd but is a chipper kid, very mobile, very interested in people in his round the corner way. Our primary goal for him is to develop communication - we have struggled mightily to get any momentum and real understanding of him in his current program, due to many staff changes and erratic input from his excellent autism specialist, Keith Kravik. We've found Cherry Creek to have a reactionary rather than proactive approach to Julian's ed. - when there are problems then the horses gallop in - when proactive program development would keep the problems from arising in the first place. We need to investigate school options for him - your perspective would be appreciated!
Thanks

My son is HF and well above grade level. After 2 years in this school and a change in teachers we believe his behavior issues are related to his environment there and not his environment at home or his ASD. We pay for therapy in addition to what he gets in the PS, so he won't be missing that. The CS nearby was recommended for summer school program just to keep him on a good schedule(PS says he doesn't need it) and I was wondering if anyone else had good experience using their system? The local CS have Special Ed programs, and I'm waiting for a return email from them.

Thanks in advance!!

My 8 year old son is coming to live with me next month. He has a "Nonverbal Learning Disability'. He has had and IEP for this since first grade, but his father and stepmother have always looked after this. Am I allowed to request a copy of his IEP for my own personal interest? And if he has a 'Nonverbal Learning Disability' what kind of accommodations and special services should he be receiving, and what should he be receiving as he gets older?

My first husband and I divorced six years ago. We have two boys, who are now age 10 and 8. We keep a 'friendship' so to speak for our sons sake. Four years ago my eldest son wanted to go and live with his dad, and then my younger boy did as well. So, they have been living with their father, stepmother (who's a special educator) and now, new baby sister. Their Stepmother came to me about two years ago and asked if Jake (the younger boy) had been evaluated for Learning Disabilities at his school. I said no. She and my ex took him to an educational psychologist who determined that Jake has a 'Nonverbal Learning Disability'.His father and Stepmother have always taken care of this and made sure his needs were met at school. Since the arrival of his new sister 6 months ago, Jake has wanted to move back home with me, and is doing so next month. I don't really understand what a 'Nonverbal Learning Disability' is. I mean he may not always respond how you'd expect and 8 year old to, but he is very

My brother has ASD. And not much has been done earlier as he was only recently diagnosed. He is an adult now but with weak communication skills. What are his possible options after high-school? University might be difficult unless it has a program to cater for his condition. Are there specific progrms, colleges or vocational schools in Canada to will enable him in the future to join the work force and lead an independent adult life?

I'm finding out the real hard way that the school district we live in is not good when there are special ed children. My daughter is very high functioning (I don't like classifying kids like that, but to get my point across) autistic. She does need speech and social skills groups at the minimum. The school we're in is refusing all services. They're also claiming that no one in the school sees any autistic traits in her. I know this to not be true because I've spoken with other teachers. Anyway, I may have an opportunity to move, but I have no idea how to go about researching special education within a district. Both of my children are sort of stuck in the middle; They have enough issues to *need* help, but not enough to get the help.

How do I find out if the district we may move to is going to be better? Any online resources?

There must be another way because I don't think the school can afford 40 aides for them. The school can refuse an aide as long as they are able to find another alternative. This is called BUDGETING!

Maybe some of you special ed majors would know about this. Are there software, games or books specifically designed to stimulate nonverbal learning in someone who has a nonverbal learning disorder? Specifically, an adult who has probablem in visual discrimination and executive functioning. Thanks.

where i live, families train and encourage their children to become a physician and in a way they worship this.
if a physician is supposed to rescue 1000 people during his life,on the other hand a teacher is able to educate at least 10 physicians during his life and so she/he rescues 10x1000 people.
don't you think so?
