HI

What a wonderful educational system we'd have if the professionals could

only

incorporate the goals and objectives into the whole day ..... Like a matrix

I know here we have separate pages. Their explanation was for this that

each person was accountable, for recording progress etc..... Her OT goals

were then only ones at one time that were being carried to where ever Sara

was. Now Sara's learning how to make charts and graphs on her IEP. This

would

be wonderful if they worked on this skill in Science and SS. Something Im

going to point out to them next week

Kathy mom to Sara 10 ....... maybe SARA needs to make the graph to point out

where her objectives can be worked on hmmmmmmm

Kathy,

We were wonderfully fortunate to have an exceptional speech therapist that

would come into the sp. ed. room during 's pull out and work with the

sp. ed. teacher and aide for speech with . Since the teacher and aide

were there they knew exactly what and how something was being done and it

carried over. It also helped that the during reg. phy ed when worked

with the adaptive pe teacher the aide was there working with someone else.

She saw what was working on with teacher and could carry it over to

other times.

I'm afraid we may lose much of this with the move to middle school. Elem. was

so exceptional. I knew every time a pipe cleaner spider came home that it

wasn't a useless art project but that had counted out each leg. That

they had discussed the colors used and identified each one. That they

discussed where spiders lived and ate. It is wonderful to know that the bases

are being covered without my pushing.

OHHHH my, hope middle school is half as good,

Karyn

What a wonderful description of true collaboration between instructors!

And such an example of how one item can be used in a wide variety of lessons!

I hope middle school is good to you too! ;-)
