Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 hey all, i need advise. Im not sure where to start, but nathan's IEP is coming up on november 23, and we will be adding---vocational /goals, plus having a big powwow with the administrator etc about classroom--grade placement, as this is nathan's 3rd year in 5th grade, and he is 13, will be 14 start of next school year, i planto really hit on reading again, and getting him in with more age appropriate activities, or integration. because there is nothing appropriate for him at the middle school, or the other kids in and out of spec ed room, and us parents are fedup. I was thinking, even sports with the jr high (middle school kids) He doesnt have to play as i know he doesnt understand what he is suppose to do, be sides he loves to watch, but I want him to be part of the team, in with his peers, weather its waterboy towels whatever, I want him to be included, they have dances and everthing in middle school and I feel he and others in spec ed are missing out on an important developmental stage or milestone of their life, Im not sure what he could do, classwise withhis age apprp. peers, still brainstorming, want to see about getting him over to middle school for something or another, his peers dont even know him much anymore, theyve all moved on. I refuse to have him railrodaded to eventually just work in the workshop counting cans and buttons, and bolts if this is all they expect then this is all he will do, i want to put higher expectations on him. Ive been reading From emotions to advocacy and spec ed law " wrightslaw " they are helpful, am going to order the wrightslaw IEP making guide this week, and ive got all his together so i can go eover them etc, see where we are not doing what we need and make changes, I really want him to learn to read and learn and do the teen thing. He is in a great mood tonight, lol he went to the halloween party at the drop in center (a hang out of those with disabilities), he had a pork burger and a cupcake, his scl girl said, and i asked him and he goes " yep " " see " pointing in his open mouth, heheheeh, he is sooo silly sometimes. thanks for reading this long email, looking forward to any help or ideas possible. shawna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
