man, i wish our school did any kind of field trip. the social interactions.

the feeling of being included. getting out of school for the day just to

have fun - sounds like fun. it's important to have fun. sometimes some of

the best lessons are learned having fun.

:

For , he regressed or totally lost 81% of his previous acquired or

mastered skills when they didn't provide the 4 different teachers in 2-1/2

years with proper training. He doesn't like doing that kind of stuff

(bowling/sports), so they are likely only going to get language out of him (via

sign

language--he does not speak) only for things he strongly desires which has been

his pattern of learning. They've only recouped 27% of those skills so they

have some work to do. I respect that that might be a good choice for some

kids, but for my kiddo, it's not. I've opted out of the Community-Based

Instruction because he doesn't have any community based goals in his IEP and he

hates being around other kids. I asked them specifically what they had in mind

for CBI and they said they didn't exactly know, so I told them until they

could tell me exactly what they planned to do, he was a no. Sounded too vague

to

me.
