Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Is anyone familiar with the guidelines ODE put out in 12/05 regarding materials preschoolers should know upon completion of preschool, and if you are familiar with it, have you used it for arguments with your school district? I have more questions, but I won't bore the rest of the list if nobody is familiar with them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 My son is in pre-school and I am pretty familiar with them/have a copy on the 'content standards'. I have not used it for arguments yet b/c he's still in pre-school (and truth be known I had more pressing arguments before with them about methodology, etc.). The school doesn't have to put anything about 'content standards' (for pre- schoolers) in the IEP so it's a little murky when it comes to the progress reports b/c a lot of school districts speak on goals and objectives. Shoot your questions and I'll see what I can tell you... I know I told a couple others I get them some info and I'm regrettably a little behind as we just found out my father-in-law has bladder cancer and they are going to do surgery this week to take out a tumor...we've been dealing with that and my studies/work is behind...just know I have not forgot and if I take to long getting back to you send me a reminder as I don't know what we'll be dealing with the rest of the week/weekend...

They want to go through the motions of having "early interventions" yet, it has no value, if we can't hold them accountable to provide appropriate services! GRRRRRR, this is a sore spot for me. The Birth to 3 program is not so great. I agree it is different and should have more standards to address this critical age group. My now 9 yo (year old) could not get into the B - 3 program at all because it was "full" at the time we went for help. We already knew he would get an autism dx so there was no mistaking his needs were present. I remember how upset I was to have nothing and nowhere to find help for him. Then those (* & & %$^ called up as soon as he got into the school 3 yo pre-k program asking how he was doing. I didn't even pick up the phone. I wanted to smack them. Now that he wasn't under their program, they suddenly cared how he was doing! Argh! Some things just are so frustrating that you never forget it. But people should not have to go through that to get help. Roxanna ô¿ôDon't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 This topic was one of my main gripes and I proposed it to the committee for the OAT. There has been SO much talk about the importance of early intervention, yet there is absolutely NO accountability. The same laws don't govern pre-school. So then, WHAT'S THE POINT OF EARLY INTERVENTION??? If it isn't appropriate, it is glorified daycare, IMO!
