Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Hi Charlyne, I'm still rooting for you and that all will turn out for the best. Praying with you. We'll be with you in spirit " Parent Power " . Looking forward hearing an update. Lots of hugs to you and Zeb. Irma,14,DS/ASD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Hi! Your email sounded very upbeat about the (undisclosed) events of the day, which I will take at face value. I would have been horribly frustrated at the continuance for the competancy hearing, but believe that your new gift from above (the special ed attorney) will watch over both you and Zeb. Have you thought about writing a book when this is all over? And we were thinking of you last night as well. Unfortunately, Margaret couldn't make it, just Gail, Donna and myself (with assorted children and, of course, Donna's DH). Gail said that your Zeb was the most polite, sweet little boy--please and thank you to everything. And how much he was taken with Jo. My son was also very taken with Jo--imitating alot of what she did when they were playing together. I guess she has a way with our boys. You live near New Hartford, CT, right? I seem to recall a conversation about you getting stuck in that little nothing of a town where my sister and her family live. I don't get up there very often, but the next time I do, I'll see if I can meet your little sweetheart. Best wishes, Ginny Mom to (6yo/DS/PDD/AML in remission/100% boy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 > Hi Ginny, > I think I could write a book about my experiences with spec ed! Oh I forgot! Why not, you and Zeb have become celebrities already. Your definitely capable of writing one. You do this and I promise to fly out your way and purchase your book and duh! Meeting you and getting an autograph. Smiles : ) Irma,14,DS/ASD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Thanks Charlyne, Yep, it was a touch and go and had to cancel one of my nephews B-day party across town to avoid any flooding that normally occurs here. Its still pretty cloudy but at least the main storm has passed. Take care.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Charlyne, Congratulations, I hope everything turns around for you and Zeb now. Enough with the attorneys and prosecutors. It's just so ridiculous. I was thinking of you the other day. Miles always volunteers in Brook's special Ed summer school class and he was telling me the other day how one day a lot of the kids were having a bad day and were hitting him. He said they didn't seem to be able to control or stop themselves. Miles was completely fine with it. I know this is not the same situation that you had with Zeb, but it just reminded me of you. Miles spends a lot of time chasing down kids that want to run off in the middle of whatever. It is actually pretty amusing to hear his stories and what the other kids are up to. Any plans for visiting your sister someday in Danville? It would be great to meet if you get a chance to go. Brook only has a few more days of summer school and then we have a long haul before school starts again. Marisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Charylne, I would love to hear how this turns out for the principal. I'm so glad this part is over for you and I hope to see better school programs and happier days for Zeb's future. Brook will occasionally hit someone, if he is provoked too, by that I mean, you are trying to make him do something he doesn't want to do. He doesn't like his teeth brushed, so he puts up a fight sometimes. We have been having more trouble with pinching and scratching. We have had this behavior in the past and had a behavior specialist work on it with us. I know Brook is doing it to get the intense reaction, but my DH is the one he goes after. So it is hard for me to persuade my DH not to react when Brook is scratching and pinching him. What's the problem with your weather? We are scorching out here in Ca.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 > Hi Irma, > So sorry I hit the wrong button. Oh yes, I came home and had a glass of wine with my dh at 11:00 am. I praying that the summer school works out. I can't remember what book you are talking about but we just can't have enough information for our guys. > Charlyne > Mom to Zeb 10 DS/OCD ? Hi Charlyne, I do not have it on hand, its in the other room but it was something like " Teaching Down syndrome How To Read. " You're right " never enough " .

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 > Hi Irma, > So sorry, I forgot about that book, it's great. You can adapt whatever you need to for and it will give you a base. > Charlyne > Mom to Zeb 10 DS/OCD ? Thanks! This will be my book of the week to finally attend to it. Lately, I had some so called reading moments while is under his therapy time. So, this will be my reading material while waiting. We shall see what I gain out it. Hope Zeb is still doing well at summer school. Take care. Irma,14,ds/asd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Charlyne, Is this a different school that Zeb is attending this summer? Hope you managed to get your equipment straigthen out, sounds like a challenging week with the school meeting, too. Good luck with that and I think they'll try to watch stepping on your toes by keep their eyes and ears open and know you mean business. I read something like when services are not available in the school for your child then you have to create one. This is definitely what you are doing, but what a toll its been for you and Zeb. Fingers crossed that it'll be a better year. Irma,14,ds/asd > Hi Irma, > You will most definitely get something from the book. It will be a good week > for learning.
