Special Education

I am in 8th grade and was labled above average intellegence
I have asperger syndrome and am homeschooled. I have a problem grasping new math/grammer concepts, and once i have them it takes alot for me to remember them.
For history and science: I have a horrible time in these subjects. I cant remember the dates or names.
I have horrible organizational skills and i avoid schoolwork because it is so hard for me. I am also a perfectionist when it comes to writing (i love to write storys but mostly type them)

Profound mental retardation describes an IQ below 20. People at this level require total supervision and nursing care all their lives. They can learn little except to walk, say a few phrases, feed themselves and use the toilet. Many have severe physical deformities as well as neurological damage. There is a very high mortality rate during childhood in this group.

I don't understand the part when it says "they can learn little except to walk, say a few phrases, feed themselves and use the toilet". Does it mean that they cannot walk, say a few phrases, feed themselves and use the toilet?

Is it true that people with learning disabilities have
trouble holding down jobs at first? I was fired from
several restaurants when I was younger for being
too slow,it was not that I was not trying to do my best.Do you think my learning disability had something to do with it.The other kids did not have any trouble at the job.

I have a job as an educational aid for summer school.... I help a class of 7 kids all deaf or hard of hearing......

I can definitly relate to them because I too, am hard of hearing - just not so severe. I used to know sign, but as I figured I can communicate without it, I just let it slip......

I am now wanting to relearn it so communicating with the kids won't be so tough.....

Any help is appreciated

I'm reading through the questions and answers and I'm astounded by the fact that so many people misspell simple words. I especially abhor the misuse of "your" as in: "Your so cute." To all you misspellers, It's "you're" (as in "you are"). Please, don't forget. Oh, well, I guess I'm just a perfectionist.

Over the years I had won many trophies and plaques. Mostly at Car Shows, so the trophies have a car on them. They are too nice to just throw away and I am trying to get rid of all my unusable "stuff." Does anyone know of a place than can use them? Perhaps somewhere there are handicapped kids that achive something and they want to give this child some reward. I live in southwest Los Angeles area. Thank you for any ideas....

We have a few problems with his behaviour too but are dealing with these. Things are improving slowly as he is in a more stable environment now (last 4 months). My main 2 concerns are his speech (he has been assessed and starts school sept) and he still wont poo on the pot (asked about that previously). Thanks

If so, can you give examples of the support systems you put in place for your child. What's working? What's not? Any website to visit for these examples? I have an 8 year old and we are struggling with inclusion. Every year he is receiving less and less inclusion with other students and more in a special ed setting. Thanks!

I am attending college in September. I will be majoring in mathematical education, but I will have a chance to change or expand upon this over the summer.

I plan to teach math at the high school level.

I'm thinking of minoring in special ed, in addition to my math ed major. I'm wondering what special education teachers do that is different from regular educators. I know they work with students with special needs, but how are overall lessons different, etc? Would there be any advantage in minoring in special ed but only teaching regular ed?

When a child is obviously mentally impaired or autistic do you still have to try interventions in the classroom and prove that they do not help the child? The whole process of identifying a child with special needs can take 7 months after the weeks of interventions and the window allowed for testing. Children end up losing most of the academic year. Our district has a high transient rate so some children must start the process all over again when they go to a new school.

I am deciding to place my daughter in an alternative high school for next year after the recommendation of the school district. My daughter has special needs and is failing regular classes as of now. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. According to federal special ed laws IDEA, all children who are in special ed and have an IEP plan are FIRST suppose to be in a regular classroom to get the help they need that is listed on their IEP plan. THEN if child is not improving, they put the child in the self-contained classes. Do alternative high schools offer self-contained classes for students with special needs?
