Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Just listened to this and it is all good advice. However unfortunately at the end of the school term I sat in meetings with the school and had discussions regarding how things would go and be when he returned to school in September. Teachers and others present sat and nodded and all agreed and said such changes that would help and benefit my son would be put in place and things that were working would be contiuned in September. Well have you guessed yet? Of course they haven't! Again people just sit around and agree and pay lip service the things that had been working have been stopped the things that supposedly were meant to have been implemented have not been and things are not going well at all - of course I will be having a meeting with the school very soon. > > [MIC Clock Logo 2007] NEW PODCAST UPLOADED > Download Globally Recognized Podcasts from the Creators of the MIDNIGHT > IN CHICAGO Initiative More Events 3rd ANNUALMIDNIGHT > IN CHICAGO Art Competition MIDNIGHT IN CHICAGO is an international > tourism and culture initiative that gives under-recognized Artists the > opportunity to be discovered in their community and abroad.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 " Just listened to this and it is all good advice. However unfortunately at the end of the school term I sat in meetings with the school and had discussions regarding how things would go and be when he returned to school in September. Teachers and others present sat and nodded and all agreed and said such changes that would help and benefit my son would be put in place and things that were working would be contiuned in September.

Again people just sit around and agree and pay lip service the things that had been working have been stopped the things that supposedly were meant to have been implemented have not been and things are not going well at all - of course I will be having a meeting with the school very soon. " I understand your point of view, and I would say that many, many parents experience similar frustrations, and many probably experience worse ones. In writing that podcast, Elyse and I had to decide where the middle ground was going to be as far as preparing for school went. Believe it or not, I am sure that most of the parents who listen to it are going to say " Bah! All that stuff is too much work. Too much effort. " And surely there will be others who will say " That's not nearly enough effort to prepare my spectrumite for school. " Our thinking was that the bare minimum which ought to be done is fleshed out in the podcast, and yes, we assumed in this instance that the school and other agencies were going to be perfectly cooperative. Naturally many schools will not be, in which case, other parties, such as witnesses, advocates, and people from the legal profession, may have to come into play to get things moving. Those sorts of things may be addressed in a subsequent podcast, although the next four podcasts are already in production and will NOT address those things.
