Hi Everyone,

This is a great site. I am excited to hear about all of you.

We, Dean and , have 3 children. Our son, Quinn, is 3 and our twins,

Sara and Maggie, are nine months. Somedays are crazy and some days are

insane, but overall we are having a lot of fun.

Maggie was not diagnosed with Down syndrome until she was three months old.

This is strange because she saw many doctors when she was born. Sara's

water bag broke at 32 weeks and I went on strict (hospital) bedrest for the

next month. They were born at 36 weeks and were pronounced healthy and we

were sent home. I noticed that Maggie was " floppier " than her sister but

figured if anything was wrong with her the pediatrician would tell us. At 2

1/2 months I asked the doctor about it and he casually mentioned doing a

chromosome analysis. Two weeks later we were told our daughter had that

extra chromosome. Happily Maggie has no health problems, hasn't been sick

but for a cold early in the spring, and eats like a champ. She has been

sitting up since about 7 months and is now getting ready to crawl, she is

getting up on all fours and rocking. She is a delight!

More later,

Stauffer

HI! My name is and I just joined this list. I have 4 year old

triplet boys and a 2 year old girl. One of my triplets has DS. Their names

are (he has DS) , , and Alec. And my daughter's name is

Hunter. We live in land. Last year the boys all went to preschool

together and we are hoping to do the same this year. I have just gone back

to

college to become a nurse. We just finished our first summer of swim lessons

and was the best out of the 3! :) We are getting ready to start him

on Piracetam and possibly Nutrivine(sp?) So we will let know how that goes.

We are finally making progress in the potty training area (YEAH) so I am

hopeful we will be done with diapers soon. never had any heart

problems but he did have a lot of airway problems and had a tracheotomy from

1 & 1/2 until he was 3 & 1/2. But thankfully he is doing much better now.

I am looking forward to hearing from others on this list!

I'm here, I just have 2 sick kids. And is a real pain when he's sick.

Actually, this was better than it has been in the past. Don't know whether it's

being older, or the GF diet. I imagine a little of both.

isn't worrying me as much anymore. I guess it's just him being normal. I

think his tummy hurts. But a lady that watches him on Wednesday mornings

mentioned about him " going stiff " in her words, the arching when you try to put

him down on the floor. I think it's just that sick/clingy thing.

It sounds like Ashton and you will be going to mediation. As far as I am aware,

to a school and tell them ashton was starting today. i hadnt looked at that

school and have heard nothing but negative things about it. so me and dh

went...... he didnt even wait to meet teacher, appearances were enough,. so we

left. we called the spec ed dir. adn said we want ashton to go to the other

school, she says she doesnt think so. she feels ashton would be better off at

the nasty one with bad reputation. so PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO. i have

I hear ya! Seth has an iep meeting tomorrow at 3 and no one told me about

it. His teacher said " see you friday at the meeting " so I called and they

said sorry, we sent you a letter. NOT!!! What would happen if they held it

without me? Is that legal? If Seth didn't have such a great teacher and

classroom, I would tell them all to get out of our lives and leave us alone.

They are the ones with the major problems!

Looks like you have a fight on your hands.

I would make the points about the bus ride being too long at the other

school, and the one you want is closer. Be sure and get copies of the

special ed laws, highlight them where you need to, and use them. Use the

phrases from the laws. For instance " We want Aston in the Least

Restrictive Environment. This school is closer to us, (would it be your

home school? What school would she attend if she didnt' have a

disability?), and that makes it more of a LRE. She cannot tolerate the

long bus ride to the other school. " What did you not like about the

other school? Was the class room too noisy? Would it be distracting? I

think you would have a case for LRE just based on the distance factor. Do

you have a copy of " Negotiating the Special Education Maze " ? If not, get

it. IT really helps. It may even be cost effective to find a lawyer to

come with you to the meeting, they tend to listen more.

Let us know how things are going. Don't give up. We are pulling for you.

Gail,

They have to let you know 10 days prior to the meeting unless you wave this.

Our Notification of EIP has an additional sheet stating that I will/will

not attend, I am bringing ----to advocate for me, or this is not convient,

need to reschedule.

IEP should always be held with the parent there, after all you have to sign

your approval or not sign.

& Garry, parents of (9), (8), JJ (6), (5), and

Esther (3). All adopted & with Down Syndrome.

Janet,

I'm glad you found us. I think, from what I can tell, most of us have

similar stories about wondering why our kid(s) with DS are so different

than other kids. THe running and hiding from company, flapping things,

videos (We have almost out grown Barney-in place are " Kid's Songs "

" Sesame Street " (Elmo-Palooza right now-6 times a day!) " Blue's Clues "

and my personal favorite " Veggie-Tales " . The end will come. Help it

along) etc....

Thanks for sharing your story.

Welcome! I'm rather new here myself although I have been on the

Question for TQ board for a year now. I am also a stay-at-home mom and

living in a town of 1500 (until June) so I know that feeling - and why

I write so much in my messages. This is a great group of people.

Taebo is such a wonderful thing. It not only is a great, fun workout -

it has also given me a wonderful circle of friends.

Welcome to the group! I have strained my right hamstring several times

doing the front kick. I have to keep remembering to lift my knee up

high before kicking. When it's bad, I modify too, like you do.

Sometimes, I'll just do a knee raise with that leg. That's great that

you have learned to modify so quickly (in fact you answered our

" Question of the Week " without realizing it-- What moves can't you do

and how have you worked around it, or something to that effect).

There are varying levels of autism. In fact, one of the problems we had

initially in getting the autism specialist to believe Ian's diagnosis was

that she worked with patients, trying to get them to where Ian was already.

Ian is communicative, he interacts well. His main problems are with

inflexibility and routine rigidity. We know that as far as this dual

diagnosis goes, we're very lucky.

Mom to Ian (2/89),

(9/90),

Gail:

" Stim " behaviors, spinning, shaking things, and other oddities that are

outward that are usually associated with autism do not necessarily equate

to a diagnosis of autism. There is a separate category for stereotypic

movement disorder, for instance, which basically means kids dangle stuff

but don't have autism. There are three primary domains for autism:

communication, social, and inappropriate object use (those are them,

right?). If there are not characteristics in all three domains, then most

likely your child does not have autistic spectrum disorder along with Down

syndrome.

Kids with DS and autistic spectrum *tend* to be stronger (have better

skills)in the social category than is associated with autism in general. At

the same time, they have a greater tendency to be lost in " inappropriate

object use " than typical kids with autism. My take is that ds/asd looks

something like, " I have more trouble with communication--don't understand

how it works " than kids with ds and am similar to kids with autism; I'm not

a social butterfly like kids with DS, but I look like it compared to kids

wiht autism only; I just LOVE to dangle stuff and it takes on a life of

it's own--and is a greater problem for me than kids with autism only or ds

only "

That's how I see it in a global sense.

The actual label isn't NEARLY as important as effective teaching/education

for your son. If Seth's team doesn't " box " kids into teaching methods, then

you're fine. Use whatever works: discrete trial, whatever.

Hope this helps a little.

Gail,

Kids can overcome the autism, although it is rare. There is so little

known especially with the interplay between DS and autism. Jen's

phychiatrist said he believed she would " outgrow " it. If autism is an

autoimmune disease (my belief that it is in at least some kids), then there

are remissions one would expect to see. Also, if he is on meds, that could

explain it. I do believe that if they allow some of the world in and it is

good to them, they start to let more in.

BTW - could there be any better news than your kid doesn't seem to look

autistic anymore? Congrats.

helped start in Alabama). The Dallas Down Syndrome

Guild hold's it's quarterly New Parent Coffee's at the

school. Unfortunately, the location and the hours

(and the cost) just wouldn't work out for us. The are

located at the Tollway & Royal (north Dallas) and we

are in Duncanville (not close at all). Also, their

hours are only from 9:00-2:30. I'd still have to find

a daycare that would pick them up from school for a

few hrs. Just didn't work out logistically. Cost

wise, I had heard it was expensive, but they have a

very generous scholarship program. They have several

benefactors, one of them being the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys have a program called " First Downs for

Down Syndrome " . Every time the get a first down,

money is donated to the school. Pretty neat, eh?

There is another school in Dallas for developmentally

delayed children called " Notre Dame " . Again, the

logistics just didn't make it work. Plus, I think we

wanted to give the Duncanville ISD a shot. Unlike

dealing w/the Dallas ISD, I've heard nothing bad about

Duncanville.

Appreciate you thinking of me tho! Tell your sister

thanks!
