Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 My daughter just started Headstart after a very bad year at the local preschool where I pulled her out. The Spec. Ed. Coop. dismissed or voided her IEP so now she is receiving no services at all and I am in the classroom the whole day which I love because I love being around my daughter and other children to get the positive reactions. Well today is the third day and the negative reactions have started. Keep in mind these are 3 and 4 year olds so I expect some but still it hurts as a mother to hear it. One child asked if she was a baby and the other told me that I shouldn't bring her back anymore. She eats with her hands and I allow her even though at first I was feeding her but hands on is better then relying on me for it right? I'm just lost and I don't know how I'm going to handle when they do get a full-time para for her and I'm not there anymore. Anything that could be helpful for the kids or for my coping skills would be amazing. Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Years ago I worked at Head Start. We had several children within the program that had special needs. We read books to the children during circle time to try to help them understand the differences of the special needs children. Some of the other kids understood, and some did not. But I think you should start there. You may be able to request some literature from the Autism Society, or possibly find some books at the library to borrow and read to the children. I do understand how hard it is because I experienced the same when my daughter was younger and she was in preschool. Other children would make comments to me about how bad my daughter was and how she couldn't talk and asking me what was wrong with her. It is very disheartening to hear these questions and statements from other little kids, but the fact of the matter is, those are things that typical kids say. If you are in the classroom everyday, it would be beneficial if you could pair your daughter up with a kind, gentle spirited peer who would be more understanding of your daughter's disability. Maybe you can assist your daughter with joining in to play with a child who is playing by him or herself. My concerns are why the IEP is not being followed? It is a LEGAL document. Did you go through the CST in your school district? If you went through the proper channels of getting an IEP and having your daughter evaluated and services deemed necessary, this should be happening, even if the Special Ed. Services unit has to contract out to get therapists to come to Head Start to treat your daughter. My daughter received services initially through Early Intervention and when she aged out at 3 yrs. old, the CST at my school district picked up the responsibility from there. My daughter is 7 yrs. old now, and this year will be attending a school in district in a special ed. classroom within the regular ed. school. Previously, she was going out-of-district at a private special ed. school. My school district paid for this. I do hope you are able to get your daughter settled at Head Start and that the other children in her class come to understand her differences, and accept her for who she is.
