she can read but its really slow and she mixes up alot of the words. and gets frusterated that it doesnt make sence. she cant hand write barely anything. she has been abused in the past and never learned how to learn. i am her teacher, what should i do. i've tryed everything to teach her. she is finally ready to learn but i cant figure out how to do it? she gets really frusterated really easy. she cant take the tests to do basic standards. she refuses to practice her reading. she understands anything thing she has read to her but if she reads it nothing goes in. WHAT CAN I DO? DO YOU KNOW ANY PROGRAMS THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP HER? what does this sound like to you? her parents are at the end of their sanity. she is not emotionally at the right age either. her math is really poor also. it seems to be connected.

thank you!!!

My step daughter's Occupational Therapist has been out of compliance with her IEP.She is supposed to see her every Friday for 30 minutes.She has not seen her all year!I just found a note from the Therapist to the teacher asking her to put a note on my step daughter's desk to remind her to go.This note was crumpled up in her backpack!My step daughter told me she has tried to go but the teacher told her to put her hand down.I know my step daughter also dislikes this Therapist and hates going to her!I have an IEP meeting today.Who's fault is this?Shouldn't the Therapist have called the room through the office?

To MAKE a long HORRIBLE story short-
My son's annual review was a week or so ago and we set it all up-after reading the minutes I noticed that nothing was mentioned about "communication" ( and issue I brought up as a concern....I don't feel as if I get enough) Via email ,I hinted at adding it to his IEP... ( this is a teacher that is not the type to say...:"he had a great day"...or "he is very friendly with"......so I figured at least every couple of weeks a quick note would be helpful)

The next day at school the teacher said "don't make any waves, I had to fight to keep him on an IEP"

Do you think what she said is called for? All I want is a little more feedback and she basically threatened to have my son's IEP taken away? I know that it can't be (taken away)....my issue is that fact that she actually said what she said! What do you think?

Would you be mad if you were a parent....and if you are a teacher would you EVER say what she said?

I am a middle school severe ebd teacher. The levels of my students are about 10-12 years old. I want to start teaching through the back door. By "the back door" I mean I want to start teaching using projects. For example, do cooking because it teaches math, design a house and build it (measuring and writing), go to walgreens.com and design a calendar using pictures, turn the classroom into a mini-business, etc. My question is does anyone have any resources for these types of ideas or no where I can find more ideas. The paper and pencil thing just isn't working for my students. Thank you!

I work for a day centre in the UK offering adults with learning difficulties the opportunity to experience work under sheltered conditions. In the new year I wish to start an IT project and I would like to give my clients the chance to communicate with others through the Internet. I thought that might be fun if it was in another country. If you can help I would be very greatful. Thank you

my son is overwhelmed with his life. He works a nite job and tries to go to school (college) during the day. It has not turned out so good he is failing his classes. He was special ed in HS before going to the community college, I do not believe he has asked for any special consideration at the college though I believe he should, he is a very proud young man. Also he is still a ward of the state and lives on his own, he must work to pay 100 dollars of his rent each month buy his groceries etc, he is without glasses cause he broke his and the state could care less if he sees or not apparently as they are dragging their feet in helping him get the glasses. I cannot help him financially and he is fiercely independent, my heart is breaking, he has given up and is talking about joining the U.S. Air Force. THis kid has a measured IQ of 135 but for some reason has always struggled and mostly failed in doing schoolwork he will not ask for help. Is the Air Force a good idea.? be kind pls.

I need to find some items to work with my brother who asperger's syndrome and sensory problems. The only problem is insurance will not cover any type of these items and my family is very low income.We don't have a big tree in our yard to hang one from either. He hates park swings he needs the deep pressure more. I'm also looking for maybe a hammock swing, and some other sensory products. Any ideas? I would like to give his some things for christmas if I can find them super low priced or for free.

I need anyone's input on this. My 16 yr old daughter goes to a charter school here in Florida on a McKay Scholarship. The principal of her school kicked her out last week and told her to come back at the first of the year because she won't get credit for this semester due to absenses. Now my daughters last report card boosted 5 A's and 1 B and she is at this school due to a learning disability. Now I want to know if this is legal ? I'm pretty sure that in the State of Florida a child has to be enrolled full-time till a certain age or graduation.

Tomorrow I am going to try and enroll her in public school because it just doesn't seem right that she is not continuing her education due to the fact that school is trying to sqeeze more money out of her scholarship. Please send any advice you can.

He has an assistive device that allows him to press certain buttons to have the device play recorded questions and comments.

He hates it, because it rarely allows him to communicate his thoughts and needs beyond, "I'm hungry," or other basic statements.

I have read the information on computers with touch screens, and some of the software, and found that helpful. We have access to teachers, and special education software for children to learn basic reading and math skills, but he has not shown any interest in those, because they do not allow him to communicate.

His present method of communication is self-learned. If he sees an ad on TV, he searches magazines for the same product ad, and presents the ad and his notebook and pen to someone who can write. Once the product is listed to his satisfaction, he waits until one of us can take him to purchase the item.

Still, this is not conversation, and we would like to know if anyone else has a solution.

My daughter was bitten in art class and was told by her assaulant not to tell because no one would believe her. The biter left her upper and lower impressions and the scare remains. The school and church sided with the biters parents and went on to issue them a letter of support, in which lies and confidential imformation was shared about my family. We managed to get a judgment for medical expenses from the bitters parents. However, the school and church sided and announced in this correspondance that my daughter would not be attending school this year based on our financial hardship, and advised the bitters parents not to seek resolution because the incidnet never took place. Do I have recourse as far as recovering registration cost and slanderous remarks made against my family. Does a private school have responsibility to file an incident report or expel my daughters attacker, under the Ohio Revised Code? Can anything be done to make the school or principal responsible?
