Special Education

A restaurant owner in town calls the kids from the deaf school "retards" because they talk (and look) funny. Are some of them in fact r-tarded?

I'm doing a report on tourette's and I don't know anyone who has it, so I'm hoping to get a glimpse on how people who have it are coping with the disability. That way, my classmates would understand the disability more.

My son just turned 4 and has poor communication skills. He can't seem to communicated his wants and needs beyond a few words. His special ed teacher said she believes he is showing some signs of autism, but his doctor said he does not belive he has autism. For instance if he is hungry, he will say, "you want cracker?" or "you want some milk?" he repeats things he hears me ask him. Has anyone else had or know a child with a speech delay at the age of 4 or older? I have him in special ed preschool so he can get a head start and he is improving, but I'm still very worried about him.

I will never get better,I can not be helped.
Why was I told this when I was a teen in the
1970s? Are Publisc Schools today trying to
help kids with Learning problems unlike they

Or these kid who have trouble in school
getting left behind?

There is always help for students with disabilities. What about those who don't have disabilities but are still failing in school? How does the school help these students? Do they take self-contained classes and the teacher there would just give them different work than disabled students?

I have a 6 year old who terrorizes the class. He is in the process of being assessed but in rural areas this process is slow. He has recently changed quite a lot. He was always a fighter and defiant and has attacked me in the past. Recently he attacks me on a daily basis, throws furniture, tears up displays...he can access part of the curriculum with support, and he works on a very modified programme. (His aims are to sit and listen at carpet time and not hurt anyone!) Anything above this is a bonus! He is in mainstream and we are all suffering. He can write his name, he is great with construction, he knows some sounds and can write a simple sentence with support. He is just so violent!! There is nowhere for him to go apart from my class in our school - we dont have a special school in the area. I need some strategies. Ive done all I can think of. I need to make the other kids feel safe too. He has a quiet place with construction toys set up for him. He trashes it.

But isn’t that out of compliance with federal law? (No Child Left Behind) According to No Child Left Behind, SPED students are to be exposed to grade level curriculum, which pretty much means taught at grade level and not at ability level.

I have recently been noticing the influx of case studies with children with 'Autism Disorder', a lot of which where Aspergers Syndrome was the diagnosis. When I think of Autism, I think "Rainmain" w/ Dustin Hoffman. But that could be also known as Savant Syndrome. Anyway, do you think a lot of children are getting labeled with 'Autism' when in fact it could be somthing else, such as ADD, or ADHD? There is a child that I know that has a nervous twitch, the twitch is that he constantly is moving his leg and the doctors diagnosed the boy with "Aspergers", the mother of the boy is very upset, and feels it is misdiagnosed, and is going for a second opinion at a University Hospital. I too, am a mother of a special needs child, and I find the influx in Autism diagnosis' alarming. What do you think. Please advise your thoughts on this.

I have Apraxia of Speech (24 years old). I was in speech therapy from preschool till 10th grade, and I'll probably need speech therapy for another few years possibly rest of my life.

Is there any government help in funding the therapy?

I'll be starting at ASU College in a few months and they require 450 for just the evaluation proving that you HAVE a disability (I have no current documentation as it's been 7 years and my highschool destroyed all the papers)

It's a life long condition that affects ability to socialize, get/hold a relationship and most importantly a job. Surely there has to be some form of help out there. I have no health insurance and no extra money from my part time job (full time is impossible)

My 8 year old was recently diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. Can you recommend a good book for her to read which will help her understand. There are loads of great books on the National Autism Webstite, but they do not say what age group these books are aged at. My daughter is a very good reader.

Amy is a 7th grade student. She recently got her report card. She is failing math, English, science and social studies. She made an appointment to see the school psychologist (Jenny) to see if there is anything wrong with her. Jenny says her intellectual and emotional development is average according to the testing. Amy tells her the classes are too big. She feels lost in those classes. She says she would like to be in smaller classes to help address her needs. Jenny agrees with her. She says it will help her function better in the other classes like gym and electives. See...students CAN choose rather to be in a resource room or self-contained classes. This is why it is important for students to advocate for themselves. When students advocate, students get to choose what they want.
