If so, remind the school officials that those programs are based on the idea that children who do not eat properly cannot do as well during school hours....so educational professionals most definitely DO believe that proper nutrition impacts education for TYPICAL children. If your *disabled* child is not eating because of his disability, seems to me that they would be OBLIGATED to provide him assistance with his feeding skills (OT or SLP is who would do that) in order for him to get the most out of his class time.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Yes I have been there!!!! Sharon mom to Danny I am such a mess Maybe a few of you remember my post a couple of weeks ago about panic attacks? Well they got worse and I got worse and everything spiraled into oblivion. I got more and more depressed, and more and more unable to cope with the panic attacks. I decided last Wednesday that I had suddenly had enough. I called my sister in law and she came over to help me out with the kids because I was so stressed. But once she got here, instead of feeling a little bit better, I felt worse. A lot worse. I felt so bad I decided that my husband and everyone else could take care of my boys better than I could. And I went into the bathroom and downed pill after pill of Adavan. Had I known that I wasn't taking enough I am sure at that time I would have found something else to go along with it, because I really thought I should die. I didn't take enough to cause serious complications --- just got a night in the hospital and went home tired and wore out. I saw a counselor right away. But somehow over the course of the weekend I kept wanting to kill myself more and more. I tried several more times over the course of the weekend - so my husband and I decided that I needed more help and we called my doctor and then went to the stress center. I ended up feeling better after my four day stay there. My intensive outpatient therapy starts tomorrow, but in the meantime I am feeling so stressed out right now. I tried to cut myself with a razor - which was dull of course so I only ended up with a few scratches. I called the crisis line and talked with someone there and she said I needed to have someone with me at all times until my appointment tomorrow m orning...and if I try to do anything else I have to go back to the stress center. Has anyone else ever felt this badly? I really need a shoulder right now - I feel alone even with family around me. KatrinaGet more from the Web.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 >>>>>>>> , Thanks, this is a lot of helpful things. does swim every Friday for 2 hours. He has been doing this for the last 4 years, he is not getting any better. His instructor can not understand why he is not improving. <<<<<<<<< If he's not improving after 4 years, I would think they need to modify the program!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Raena, Most of the school around don't do that any more. We use to have a breakfast and lunch for under privileged kids but the other kids abused it and the principal start the program. I have told them that it is important for to eat. I even went so much has to getting the doctor from Sick Kids to write a letter to the school and tell them that it is unexceptable. The trouble is changed schools last year and this teacher does not do anything for any of the parents. I have gone to the board over her and she was to be replaced this year. I got the letter last Thursday that she will be his teacher again because they did not find a replacement. Yeah like they looked. So I will be putting my foot down really hard this year and not putting up with any cramp at all. I have made up my own communication book and she better use it this year. I am putting a copy of it in the files just incase anyone would like to use one like this.
