I have been dealing my sons "extra help" teacher for 1 year, he has not had a formal assessment, but is on the waiting list through the school and they say that next year he will come up(grade 6 by then) I suspect he has dyscalculia, I myself was diagnosed at 24, My problem is he does his math in the morning in regular class and then more math in the afternoon (they want him in thewre 5 days per week)in his extra help class, then more math with his homwork, he is now failing the classes that he is good in social studies science reading and writing, and they are making hime do grade 3 math they started it all las year by putting him back to the begining and "tying and see if that works" well it did not I allowed it for last year, and the only difference was that he was getting bad grades in the other classes and he now has anxsity and poor self esteam, I know he needs help but if they do not know what the problem is conclusivly then how can they teach him.

In California, special ed is decent as long as you're willing to go to the mat on it. A person with an autism diagnosis is entitled to services through regional centers.

What are other states programs like? DH was considering applying for jobs out of state, but so far CA seems to be it for autism education.

We want to transfer our son to a private school. How do we exit or close the IEP? He has been in Special Ed for two years. He has progressed greatly and we feel it's time to move on.

Do you think some kids with LD sould not even go
to a community college? In 1979 I tried to go to
Columbus State Community College and took remedial courses in reading and math.I had trouble
and when I disclosed I had LD,The instructor told
me to withdraw from her class and drop out of CSCC. Said I had no right coming to CSCC.
I told higher up about what happened,I was told
it was the college's policy to discourage LD from
attending CSCC. They never will be able to do
college level work let alone have a real job.
I will never give that place my business again.
I was in sped all through school and no one ever
taught me how to read well,do math,study for tests
etc. Why do I blame myself? It is not my fault I had
LD. Do you think I had the right to take the remedial
reading class?

My yearbook staff just recieved our yearbooks on wedensday and our administration will not allow us to distribute them to the students because of the special education pages are in the book and they said that we could be hit with a lawsuit. Is this possible? If we don't put them in the book wouldn't that be discrimination? What should we as a staff do?

Two of my students have extremely difficult parents.

Unfortunately, because the students are non-verbal, i have to occasionally write notes home to tell them things. It seems like no matter what i write, even if it's simply "she had a great day," they will find some way to complain about it.

I've been told by my supervisors and many of the other parents that i am an excellent teacher and that they are very impressed with how smoothly i run this difficult classroom.

These parents are extremely discouraging and even sometimes insulting. No matter how hard i try to let it go, it's impossible not to take it a little personally.

How do you handle these negative comments?
Does anyone have a similar situation? How did you handle it?

Thanks!

I read that Thimerosal is just a cover-up for the cold way mothers are treating their children due to working outside the homes. Do you agree?

I have two 5 year old high functioning autistic spectrum boys, and we have been working on potty training for a loooong time. While they were enrolled in the PPCD classroom they were taken to the potty often but kept in diapers. Now at home (and home schooled) they wear underwear except for bedtime, I take them potty often, we have sticker charts and candies and lots of praise celebrations for going potty in the potty. However, they are just as content to potty in their underwear, and are only now starting to occasionally go to the potty on their own. I have two older children who I potty trained without too much trouble. I have a three year old who I have also started training... and who sometimes is more successful than my 5 year olds. I am sure they will be successfully using the potty before they "graduate", but sooner would be much better than later!

I just read the interview with Jenny McCarthy in People discussing her autistic son. While any awareness is good news for the autism community at large, and while they did print some information that deals with the move realistic, average world of autism (in the box toward the end of the article) I have to admit I was very angry with both her veiws (and those she quoted of Holly Pete Robinson) that if you get your child services soon enough you can "pull him out of autism" or into a type of autistic remission. I feel comments like that do a huge diservice to the autism community at large and minimize the struggles many families face. Both of these women, who have struggled to provide the best services for thier kids (and I admire that) are fortunate enough to have both the location (CA has some of the best programs in the country on state and local levels) and the finances (many of us can't afford a second mortgage...or even a first...to finance over $200,000 in supportive services a

I have been working with the deaf for more than 15 years now. I am also a training director of a school for the deaf here in the Philippines. Based on my experience, deaf people studying in our school is constantly increasing. Was is because of increasing number of deaf people or their awareness is increasing that there are schools for them so they are coming out?

My son is almost 4 and we can only understand (estimate) 65% of what he is saying. When he talks, I have to go through my mental rolodex to match the sentence with his life situation whether that the conversation is about his friends, school, snacks, etc so I can try to understand his wants and thoughts on something. His test scores aren’t suggesting services at this time. Why all the red tape when you can clearly hear there is a problem with his speech? I have to go to a board meeting next week to discuss the tests. Is there anyway, I can get him services through the school district without the test results? Why can’t they just listen to him to see there is a problem?

My son is under special needs at school and unfortunately seems to annoy other children at times. Unfortunately whenever the headmaster has to speak to us he always talks about our son's 'acts of violence' towards other children.

I know our son hits out at children from time to time but to us doesn't seem violent. My thoughts on being violent are punching someone enough to break a bone, severely bruise or cause a nosebleed - which he has NEVER done and I would be absolutely mortified if he did.

All I am asking in this question is what you would call 'an act of violence' in a child. I know my son has done wrong and is being punished which is understandable but personally I feel that the headmaster is using too strong a language for this.
