Special Education

I just have problems with sequencing and memory and have difficulty transposing numbers or other written information. But I can read faster than anyone I know (413 words per minute). At the moment I am reading Anna Karenin by Tolstoy. And I have some trouble with typical words that dyslexic people find difficult but can spell many others that people with most dyslexia can't. Have I been mis-diagnosed? or are there different types of dyslexia?

When they say dyslexia people read things backwards do they mean they see the letters backwards? or do they read things backwards such as "What are you doing?"
Are you what doing?

I don't understand it much but I think my brother has it, when he reads he skips words and reads them backwards, but he has no other big signs of dyslexia but that....Does he have dyslexia if so what kind?

My son obviously has difficulty learning. However he is a brilliant musician and knows his way around electronics. Should I be super concerned. Or should I accept that he will learn at a slower pace. I do not have the option to find professional help as I live in a remote area of India.

My four year old has not made progress at his highly acclaimed center based school in the year he has been there. I have lined up a strong team of therapists willing to work with him at home--but I must ask the school district for 30 to 40 home hours. Does anyone have experience with this or have suggestions on how to present this to the school district. I know it will be more expensive to have him home than at school...something a district is sure to weigh. I just can't sit by and watch a boy with potential fail. Thank you.

Are you for it, against it, or does it really matter to you who is in your child's classroom? What degree of developmental delay do you think is too much to be in a regular classroom? If any.

I've heard that epsom salt has many uses. I've heard that it helps children with delays and disabilities. I've heard it is also used for children on the autistic spectrum with positive results. Does anyone know anything about this? Thank you.

Okay, i've been in special ed since i was in 2nd grade, in i'm now a senior in HS. okay people constantly ask me this question "why are you in Special ed", and i always say "i don't know". because i truly don't know, i'm smart. but my teachers say i have a "language disorder" and sometimes i do tell people that's what my teacher says. and they be like "what does that mean, theres nothing wrong with the way you talk", there isn't. but i'm not that good at math at all, so if i really had to place myself in a catergorie i would say that i have a learning disability in math. idk. what do you think?

I was born with moderate or mild autism. In my culture (I'm Chinese), any type of disability isn't accepted. It is the norm for kids to excel in all academic areas. So my parents verbal abused me for years that damaged me emotionally. They never got me help with autism that they only focused on molding me to become a prodigy or at least a highly academic girl. They made me feel so guilty for making their lives unfortunate because I couldn't reached to their expectations.

I feel like I'm the only person with learning disabilities born to parents that aren't loving or accepting towards me while others seem to have such a loving family.

So any of you with learning disabilites that have been abused by your parents for the condition that you never chose to be born with? Feel free to share.

What are the requirements for an International student from India who has done her bachelors degree in Special education in Mental Retardation to get a job in USA. To my knowledge, in USA we have to get a license for the special education teaching. Since the student is from India, its obvious that they dont have a license. How do we get started on this matter. Where do we apply for a job and get licensed in this area. Thanks.

I have nothing against retarded children, but if you choose to have them, you should take responsibility for them. I really don't believe in having these types of children. I think it is a burden to the parent and the child itself. You will have to take care of the kid for the rest of it's life. Why bring it to suffer? My cousin has down syndrome and he had so many damn surguries, its like why make a kid go through that, its hard enough being normal." And if you don't have the time to teach the kid anything, spare yourself. My Aunt is disgustingly lazy and teaches the kid nothing so he is really bad when she is around and acts up and hits her with things. I don't get it.
