Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Laurie... I know what you are saying. I spoke with the Asst. Supervisor of Special Ed in our School District and although I stated that Tori had Ds and ASD he kept referring that the " behaviors " were typical of Ds and that he had a lot of kids with Ds in typical classrooms. No Duh! As the kids say. WRONG!!!!! Her Ds is secondary to us at this point. The ASD is the diagnosis that needs to be addressed. Kids with Ds don't have " behaviors " . Liz-Mom to Tori 4 1/2 yrs.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I am in the process of trying to make the school understand that just becuase Trisha can't answer questions doesn't mean she doesn't know the answers. When will people learn there are other ways to ask and answer questions besides the tradional way? The other thing I notice is that the schools seem to not let Trisha grow up. They seem to keep her at a toddler age in the minds and therefor teach her as a toddler with not as much expectations as a toddler though. The more I think about it, the more I believe we need an IEP for the school staff, directors etc. For some reason they seem to have a mental block when it comes to IDEA and 504. So I guess you can say they are learning disabled and need us to come up with a plan to help them learn to fit in with the IDEA community. Carol Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!
