Guest guest Posted December 4, 1999 Report Share Posted December 4, 1999 My husband's Mom called yesterday to tell us about a friend's daughter. She was dx'd with an established case of Lyme and SUNY STONY BROOK HOSPITAL (home of Dattwyler) treated her with only 4 weeks of IV abx. After that, she complained of continuing symptoms and was told, " You're cured! The Lyme is gone. Your symptoms are from having HAD Lyme. " ! Of course, not knowing any better, she accepted this. My husband told Mom to have her find a LLMD ASAP!!!....it never ends! Frustrated, Joan LI NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 <<<One parent's trajectory with the special ed system: http://www.tourettesyndrome.net/Files/bharris2.htm > thanks for the site... here the news are busy with an 11 year old in the South of the country against whom the school filed a complaint.... the school claims the child violently attacked the principal and two teachers. the father claims the child has TS and it is known that he has uncontrollable movements as well as a sensitivity to being touched. and those teachers were trying to get him out of class by force which is what he was respoding to...... I just feel so sad.... recalling what happened to my own child in the previous school .......... Our children are often SOOOOOOOO misunderstood F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Are there anyone here with experiences with special education in the Canadian school system? I'm starting to hit a brick wall with the principal and I don't know my rights in BC. ===== Stupid signature DragnFlye ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 My son currently attends school for 2.5 hours/day with a TA. The original plan was that he be gradually integrated into full time attendance. The principal has made it clear that extending the hours is " non-negotiable " . Tomorrow we see the psychiatrist and I'm going to ask her to write a letter to him and to the superintendent outlining a schedule for extending hours. He was supposed to be in full time by last June, but all we're getting are delays and excuses. --- the 4 makelas <4makelas@...> wrote: > , I'm in Ontario.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 , the problem may be that the school is not funded/allocated for more than 2.5 hours/day. Do you have it in writing that the plan is to extend the hours? I'd ask the principal if funding is a problem and how you can help him apply for more/get the school board to allocate more. It isn't unreasonable to expect to extend the hours if your child is of the age where kids go to school for a full day. In Ontario, special education dollars are allocated to the school board itself, based on the applications made on behalf of all the identified exceptional students. Then it is up to the school board to divvy up the dollars in terms of staff support according to where the kids are placed and how much need each is demonstrating. / 4makelas@...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 For Online Parents' Group, a Legal Scare Published: November 13, 2005 http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/13/nyregion/13slope.html ....But as Mr. Safran's threats of a lawsuit continued, the moderators were scared into shutting down the message group's entire archives this month. The action prompted an outpouring of messages from members, many of them angry. Alquist, a father of two teenage daughters, complained about people who are " trying to intimidate and silence us. " ....Last week, a local parent helped recruit Wolf, chairman of the Internet law group at the law firm Proskauer Rose in Washington, to give pro bono advice to the Park Slope moderators. Mr. Wolf said that he had told the moderators that under federal law they were not liable for Ms. Meyer's post and that he had called Mr. Safran to tell him he had no case. Mr. Wolf added that under the federal Communications Decency Act, Internet service providers, Web site operators and bulletin board hosts were exempted from liability for the statements of others. People who post libelous statements can be subject to defamation suits, he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 hi madison...good point...ssris do have their downside...there is a whole new school of orthomolecular psychiatry developing on the theory that the way to go is to provide the brain with the best chemical natural substrate we can so it can function at its highest level without drugs... it is interesting that when heroin first came out it was marketed by the manufacturer as the non-addictive cure for morphine addiction especially for women and was additionally listed as the drug of choice for the disease of "poor complexion'...doctors of the day based on good research provided by the drug companies wrote it like gangbusters...i have seen the ads... ..more will be revealed...regards,robin madisonxyz2000 <madisonxyz2000@...> wrote: The only difference is, these people are permitted to continue to take the drugs they have become physically addicted to. Wonder why people can't be weaned off of other drugs as well, or permitted to continue them? Why are some drugs eveeeeeel and some are not? Could it have anything to do with the racist drug laws that came into effect in the late 19th and early 20th century? Will these people someday be a whole new class of criminal addicts for the DEA to persecute?http://news./s/ap/20060806/ap_on_he_me/stuck_on_meds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
