Re:School finally gets it!

[Guest guest]

Nearly every ARD was more like a court date for us. I had to do all

this research in advance, ask them their plan in advance so I could do

my strategy, and then bring in an arsenal of proof and witnesses and

such to back up my request. Where I live, they just aren't savvy about

special needs. It takes a loving heart more than anything to help a

child with special needs. Don't forget to always use letters from your

licensed counselors and psychologists. They know how to word the

letters in helpful ways concerning a child's needs. Note that School

Counselors in Texas are not licensed to diagnose and treat mental and

developmental illnesses, so don't let them diagnose in the ARD meetings.

Love and prayers,
