Guest guest Posted April 24, 2000 Report Share Posted April 24, 2000 Robbin, hi, I think the coach is just being plain ole stupid and not thinking about what's best for your daughter. You don't have to label her as being handicap nor let no one else label her that way either. I agree with you about her being disabled. Our children don't really understand that they can't do everything the other kids do. My daughter is allergic to seafood and when I'm not around she'll eat it and so my mom lets me eat it when she knows better than that. But have to remember that they are kids first and then they are rebellious with it.Everyone that gets Drese gets a list of do/don't and also a list of can/can't eat, but she'll argue with them saying my mom let's me have it. The school calls me all the time asking me what she can/can't eat and they have a list already, but they will argue with her instead of telling her NO. Then they'll call me because she she want fish or dairy products that she can't have. Once I'm called everything is ok, so the child actually won that battle with the cooks and the teacher, but lost the war with me. So all I'm saying is that the coach has to be the adult in the matter and tell NO and that's the bottom line. Well this school here hates to see me coming when they are wrong about something that shouldn't havelet drese do. Also I met with the sup. of the school system too and let him know what was going on and that they would be responsible for if anything happened to her and we have drs. orders at the school on her limitations and food allergies too ywellen(sweetpea200001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hi there are several web sites out there about the individuals with disabilities act and article 504 .. I found a good one that just hapens to be more Ohio specific .... you can find it at www.specialeducationohio.com Hope this helps. I am not from Ohio but still found some of the information useful.
