Thanks. > Hugs, > Irma,14,DS/ASD I see at 14 picking up on things that were impossible for him a few years ago. He is working on feature, function, class with his in-home team. Ex. a blue ball- feature is blue, function is play or to throw, class is a toy. He is flying through these where a year ago he wouldn't have had a clue about it. Now if we could just get one to one number correspondence. karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hi Irma, Zeb doesn't read that well. I started teaching him using the book, Teaching Children to Read with DS. I use various method but I am working on blending sound, beginning and ending sounds to get that phonetic piece to click. I have to switch methods often to make this seem like fun games and not real work. He is slick. When Zeb was in the early grades the school failed and refused to teach him these primary reading skills. At my recent PPT with the new attorney, the school was advised that the measurable progress from the past 4 yrs was minimal. Zeb will have a tutor the entire summer and a comprehensive independant reading eval. It was a very long meeting and the reading was just one of the issues addressed. I am certain the school is waiting for a due process etc. so they are scrambling at this point. My agenda was rather lengthy but I did request a distict wide disability awareness program throughout all of the schools, 30-50 children's books on disabilities to be purchased for each school library and pictures framed and hung in the school main areas and hallways of children with disabilities. The school honored every request. I need to make a horrible situation positive not only for Zeb but every student that follows his path. I have only just begun! Charlyne Mom to Zeb 10 DS/OCD ?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Irma, I removed Zeb from his day camp and placed him in the regular summer school. The school was somewhat resistant to the idea but enrolled him. My prayers were answered when I picked him up today. He is the only student with intellectual disabilities in that school. I guess I'm the button pusher choosing to go where no one has tried,LOL. The general teacher said that he did awesome work, raised his hand and answered some very hard questions. I don't think the expectation was ever thought about with the summer school teacher. I think she learned not to write the DS part off. I finished writing the letter at 3:30 am. I am still not finished with equipment but I'm going to make it on time. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 10 DS/OCD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
