Irma;

<I will check my calendar and see if I can attend this event. When I say

check my calendar, it means I am due with baby number 3 in October. This is

definitely a conference that I want to attend. My girlfriend and I attended

the conference in Houston last fall and both came home with ideas galore.

This would be a very interesting one to go to especially since she works in

the school district. I probably won't attend any others until after the

baby is born. This pregnancy has been extremely difficult. That's why I

haven't been on in a while.

Hi ,

Congratulations on baby # 3 may all go well. Have you found out what sex,

yet?Wow! is 9? Interesing soon to be an older brother to 2. How is he with

Elisha?

I can see you have your hands full and taking it easy with this pregnancy.

Do you mean with Kelle Wood? Is so that is great that you have someone

supportive with the school district. I think she has just expanded her learning

center out in Austin since I last saw her in April at Dr. Carbone's Workshop. I

spoke to Gail Wayman and she too told me that she is opening a Learning Ctr. out

by Plano this month when I saw her last month, said she had posted it on the

Texas list sometime the beginning of July, she'll have the same interventions as

Kelle's school provides which will be great. I'm pretty sure Kelle Wood would be

getting with Gail Wayman to hold future workshops for the parents. Aren't you

nearby? What timing as you have some knowledgeable people out there that will

not require for you to travel out of town. I know once baby is born it'll slow

you down some, but nice to know what is available in your area.

I'll be attending the Corpus Christi State conference in Sept., so the workshop

with Kelle Wood is pending as will be back in school and I have to work

around this. If I do attend and all is well with you and hope to meet you there.

Thought I share a wee bit of Mayerson form notes shared by one of my

cyberfriends who has attended his conference:

If you do not own a fax, invest in one!-- Faxing correspondence to your district

is a more reliable record than certified mail. Don't ever allow a letter from

your District to go unanswered. Convert meetings from what you what the child

needs. Get independent eval's. It could be beneficial to videotape (10 minutes

or so) of your child every 3 months when NOT in a structured setting to validate

the need for ABA and more hours. Take a log of all phone calls.

Take care,

Irma,16,DS/ASD

It's a very nice area. Don't know about special ed programs, but they have

a highly recognized educational system. Houston has a strong DS group.
