Hi Louise, It didn't take long. I had the ed consultant do training with the staff. She also modeled for the staff while she was observing in the classroom so the staff could see the difference in a natural environment. The staff could see the difference for themselves and have followed that model since. The BIP will follow him to the middle school with training by the ed consultant with the new staff. I do not think this issue will be a problem with staff in the middle school. I will have more difficulty having them modify and provide necessary teaching strategies in the general curriculum. I firmly believe we all need to have choices in our lives to have a sense of control in our environment. Having a good consultant is the key to good programing and accommodations.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 So agree Charlyne about having good consultants. Explain to me about the ed consultant. Is this person from your school district or the state? How do you find this person? Does the school or state give you a list of people who can be an ed consultant? I assume the person must know about spec ed children and their needs no matter what diagnosis they have.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi Louise, The ed consultant is a person that has a phd in education with a specialty in behaviors. I found her myself networking in a sped workshop of some kind awhile ago. I aksed for a PPT meeting and requested that they bring her on and of course the bill that goes with it. The district dragged their feet but I did some fast talking when I am backed up against the wall and they agreed. They liked her so well that she does some other consulting work in the district. I am certain that you could find a list of consultants with an advocacy center or state sped dept. We have become good friends. she has helped me for some of the other children I advocate for when I am stuck or need an opinion. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 12 DS/OCD/ASD?
