Special Education

a) an expensive, small, college-prep school for Asperger's and NLD kids that specializes in providing the exact extra help these kids need, including conversational speech, writing papers, and social skills

b) a huge public school with 3,000 kids, very little accomodation or help for Aspies, and some element of danger from some of the student population

c) a private school that has no accomodation for Aspies, that is on the fast track for Harvard and Yale, that has an enormous amount of required reading which you as a parent know your child will not be able to keep up with

I went to a private school for LD and they did not help me at all.They told me they are not trying to
help me acheive anything we just work you at your level and thats it.How was that helping me?They
did not offer foreign languages.I was denied to
take Geometry,Algebra 2 and many other courses.
I was not going to get a diploma a certificate instead.Thats why I quit.I felt like a loser.
If you do not have a foreign language in high school
that means no college.This school told me I can not be helped and thats why I was there(dumping ground).They are the reason I hate school and will
never go again.This was in the 1970s.
Can LD kids do a foreign language?

I have a 10 year old who is perfectly confident in everyway, but has a speech disfluency where she repeats syllables in about every other sentence or so. Usually she doesn't even notice she's doing it. She goes to speech therapy and I believe it's helped somewhat but I don't understant how it helps. I've asked and I still don't understand. She does the therapy at school and I just found out that she goes with other children who have different speech issues than her (these children are also very disruptive in a normal classroom setting). My child does not have any confidence issues nor does she suffer any stigma for going to speech during school. When kids find out she goes to speech they usually don't understand why she goes. We have her IEP meeting today and I'm just wondering if anyone can explain to me how therapy is supposed to help and if it's detrimental to have children with different speech issues in the same session. Thank you!

I had a 14 year old brother who suffer from dyslexia. He had difficulty in both reading and writing, so my dad gave him a special class with professional teachers. Now, he can read slowly (we're very proud of him) but his pronounciation is still very weak. Some suggest us to send him to drama classes, to improve his speech. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. thanks;)

The school I work for....teachers never read their IEP's, much less follow them...they don't read the ARD paper work or try to understand what it means when they are performing way below grade-level.. I was ambused by teachers claiming that none of their SPED students improved through-out the year. I tried explaining about their IQ scores and the negative standarded deviation..their students IQ's ranged from 75-65 with a standarded deviation that was so low...they were perfoming at a 3 year old level...I was so anger and they told me not to take it personal. But how can I not. I had their students all year...because of this we are now holding teachers accountable...they will now working in our room for CMC, they are responsible for all work and IEP goals, grades..everything will be documented....I am just so angry and I am a first year teacher on top of it all...I am looking for support

My son has autism and is cognitavely disabled. Developmentally he is closer to a five year old than a young adult. I always just assumed that guardianship would be automatic...something I didn't worry about. However, I have recently been told this is not the case and that there is quit a process for me to be his guardian after he turns 18. Can anyone explain this process, or point me to a website that can? What is the first step? Who do I contact? Where do I apply? I live in Massachusetts and my son attends a residential school for severly disabled boys. Thank you.
