Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Irma so much you say is so familiar. I too have the feeling about being challenged and excited about the advocating for most of the time and other times I feel like I don't want to do this any more. That seems to happen when I feel like no one is listening and it seems so obvious to me. Then we see the progress and happy times like 's birthday, glad he enjoyed it, I think I forgot to wish him a Happy Birthday. Recently 's supervisor at work was on a two week vacation. In the past when she has not been there has had a difficult time. This time the Program Manager told me how proud she was of him during that time. I told her I was happy to hear this as usually all we hear is when he is doing something wrong. She told dh this again when he was there one Thursday working with the Lucent Pioneer group and that they were using some of Barbara Doyle's strategies and they were working. I have mentioned to the residence we would like to hear some of the good things he does and if he is having fun on activities and no responses. Time will tell.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Boy your comment " Dr. Carbone had mentioned at the Conference that I had attended last April " Children do not fail to learn, teachers fail to teach. " Brought back memories. Over 30 years ago we had a meeting with the school for over some issue that I can't remember now. I remember Andy dh wrote a letter to the district and in part said, " if the student hasn't learned, the teacher hasn't taught. " Guess Andy and Dr. Carbone have the same thoughts. Yes, it is so heart breaking when you know something is going on and they are unable to express it. Hope you will get answers to why was upset. Then sometimes we have to interpret what they are saying. Last week we took a hearing aid to at work after having gone to Audiology to get a new tube for his ear mold. Now this was 's left aid. His supervisor wasn't there that day and pointed to his left ear, gave her sign, and signed hurt. I thought OK maybe he thinks Lynda's ear hurts and that is why she wasn't there. Later talked to Lynda and she explained. The Friday before she did have an earache, she then took off a couple vacation days after the holiday but he didn't understand that, knew she had an earache when he last saw her and thought she still had it as to why she wasn't there. Thought that pretty smart of to put the thoughts together to tell us what he did. You have to know all the pieces to put some of these stories together but when you get them it makes sense. The only way we can usually tell how is really feeling about something or someone is by his expressions or how he acts. has not seemed happy when it comes time to go back to his home. Or, he has been agreeable to go back and when he gets there you can see the change in his affect to getting upset about something easily. Our daughters have said the same thing as stayed with them on the weekends we were on vacation. They noticed as we have that when he comes home he has been in a good mood and you can see the difference when he goes back. There is one staff that he just isn't happy to see. Last night when we took him back that staff wasn't working and he was happy to see the home manager who was working at his house that night. For months we have been weighing different options and hopefully will be making a decision soon. Louise Mom to 41 DS, HI, ASD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Hi Irma, The arrest of this child brings back many unpleasant memories. I have since learned that this is not the norm but not uncommon in any state. The school district personnel are all guilty. The OP & A's in the states are great advocates. Hopefully this child will survive this one. Zeb did fine but I still harbor plenty of resentment. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 11 DS/OCD/ASD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Irma, It's better to have what you requested in writing for documentation. It is good practice to keep everything in a file in the event you need it for future advocating. You never know. Zeb is a little punchy these days too. The days are getting shorter and school is getting harder as the year progresses. He refused to go to school today. I have been fighting asthmatic bronchitis for weeks and I did not feel well enough to battle with him this morning nor did I need to get a call from the school. I took the easy way out.

He snuck a small toy in his pocket this am and I knew he would give the school staff a hard time with it and that he did. I would love to take a nap but too many people know where I live and my tel#. My door is never locked, remember I have the grandfather's in and out all day too. I need to find a nice hotel,LOL. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 11 DS/OCD/ASD?
