Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Hi , I don't think any less of you for moving on. I do think that the school system has let you down as well as the child.As children grow they change,new strategies and interventions need to be investigated and implemented.The school system is responsible for making this happen and not leave it to you to be innovative and try new methods.They dumped the both of you.You are now ladened with guilt and the child isn't recieving FAPE.I do know that you are a caring person or you would not be talking to all of us.I do not think that you failed rather than the system failed you.I hope that the school finds the proper supports for this child because every day is critical.I am involved in advocacy work with the ARC and have to deal with many of these issues on a daily basis. I have spent many sleepless nights and I certainly understand how badly you feel. Charlyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2001 Report Share Posted May 28, 2001 , Praying for your new challenges and your health. Glad you're watching for yourself . I know, It was not easy for you to take this step as you devoted yourself all those years . Your family needs you , too . I as a parent with a son , DS/ASD . Decided I needed to find answers for the sake of my health , too . I might of had problems with the Elem . school for 4 years on them writing and calling about my sons aggressive behaviors and I know they did their best to work with him . Thats when I decided to hunt for answers . Boy ! Did I ! This school year , now , in Middle School has been great . This is definitely a school and home challenge , working together . When I finally decided it was enough, it was when I started having alot of back problems , and too much stress . I also did not see any progress in my son , due to his behavior which did not allow it . I hope Andy's parents will find answers to help his behavior, because its going to continue . I made changes at home for my son on his diet , sleep pattern , teaching self-help skills , following schedules , plus other areas I can't think of at this moment . At school , he's actually cooperating , getting involved and learning . Anyways you get the picture , a change was needed . We Love our , so I'll do anything for him . Now I see him HAPPY, as we are too . Same goes for my other two sons . Take Care , you made the right decision , who knows maybe there is something better awaiting for you , and this was a sign . Everything happens for a reason .
