home to school communication

December 12, 2006

Hello All, It has been a while since i posted i try from time to time

to keep up with the posts as much as possible but life seems to get in

the way. My little guy, Noah turned 6 in November. He is doing well

and has sure come along way. In the past year and a half we have been

through 2 BCABA for our home program and now have started with a 3rd.

WE have found that just because they are certified does not mean that

they are quality if ya know what i mean. You have to be careful that

is for sure. The school is supposed to be doing ABA however, they are

not being supervised by any BCABA so I am not too happy with the way

things are going that way either. A friend of mine has just gone

through a due process over the matter and it way open to the public so

i attended the part of the first day, boy is that ugly and i would not

want to ride that out myself without an attorney. Anyway I am

starting now for my next I.E.P in april/May and ESY since that too is

usually a big waste of time and Noah will going into a new class next

year but at this point i want to have most of his time accounted for

at school with a checklist and fill in's on a home to school

commication log. He is supposed to be getting 20 hours a week at

school of ABA but can you believe the school counts his shadow time as

aba even though she is sitting 15 feet away from him while he stems

and she is just a chit chattin away. I have not kept up and

complained this last year since my husband was ill and needed surgery

and we have 4 kids but I AM BACK! I remember someone on this list a

few years back had a log they were willing to share was wondering if

they could email it to me to give me a start so i can keep some data

on them because i feel if they have to keep track of things they might

pay more attention to the little guy. My husband will be retiring

within the next year form the military so we no longer be able to get

ABA in the home so they school is going to have to shape up. Thanks
