Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Good idea Margaret. One thing about BOCES is that you never see any other parents. There's really no way to get parents in a district together to discuss problems. I think that is going to be my summer project. Starting a group for BOCES parents to meet and work together. Think it should start with an ad in the paper? Gail :-) Hi, Everyone......Gail....Happy Birthday to my Elmira friend!!! Why don't you and all the others from NY write up an e-mail about your problems/issues with BOCES and your school districts, all of you sign it, and send it off to Hillary. She just may get something done....isn't this an election year? Mr Bush, with his No Child Left Behind, should have provided $$$ for districts to provide an education (not babysitting) for our kids. How many of you are there in NY.....5 or 6? Just an idea. Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well acutally,my CSE is very good to me.I have been the parent member for umteen years hough. My children are 14, 16, and 18. They have each had very individual programs according to their needs. BUT(and three is always a but) Thre are very few appropriate BOCES programs available. If you don't fit in the BOCES box..don't bother to come to them. Our local BOCES has very little to offer in the way of autism education, and no special clases that I know of for students with autism. I also feel that there is very little offered to our special ed students from BOCES. Food service is " big " ...as Seinfeld says, " not that there is anything wrong with that! " but our kids need more choice. Thre is a Visions program for gifted(or at least " upper level " students where the students shadow and participate in activities at our local hospitals..like, nnursing, ot, speech, well thre are other jobs that need to be done in hospitals..whhy not have a like program for student's with disabilities..or allow them in the regular Visions program..with supports. It is the low expectations problem again. Well those are some of my concerns. Brigid Re: New Yorkers/Gail In a message dated 2/24/2006 12:05:48 P.M.

Brigid, We have an autism program, which might have been good 20 years ago. Sure needs some updating though. I took Seth out of it after first grade. He's in a multiply disabled 6-1-1 class now.
