Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Did you bring the report from the SLP to them? I would think that a SLP is more qulaified to judge the language development of children than a SpecEd person. I am unfamiliar with 'services' offered in your district. However, an Itinerant teacher is 'services'. It does sound like your child is doing well even with the expressive delay. Why not put your child in a regular mainstream setting for now and see how she does. I would not put her in an 'at-risk' program with the children with the special needs mentioned. These children may model behaviours that you do not want your child learning. Also, poor language models are not what your child needs now. She needs good age-appropriate language models. She is also still very young, so you are still her main teacher of language. I would however, ask to check out the 'at-risk' class because you never know what it is like until you have seen it for yourself. I know not all would agree with me, but I do believe the best place for a hearing impaired child to learn language and social skills is in the regular mainstream setting with proper supports (access to a qualified Teacher of the Deaf, FM or soundfield system, and other spec ed supports should they become necessary). The Catholic school board where I live puts all the HI children regardless of their language development into the mainstream setting (they have the largeest number of children with cochlear implants). These children do so well that the ministry of education will often ask why these children do so well when others in other school boards are delayed. There is also anecdotal evidence that people deliberately move to our district to go to the schools in this school board. Yes, the children are delayed in the beginning but, they eventually catch up or the difference doesn't seem so great. They recommend that if it does become difficult for your child, that you hold them back in grade one (not before and not after). Subject: Fw: I NEED HELP!! .. She has a 45db loss in one ear and a 50db loss in the other. In April we went to Christ Hospital to have a speech evaluation done by a professional. The conclusion was that her language was good but her speech was less than that of a 2 yr. old. She is 3 and 1/2. Today the special ed dept. evaluated her for a short period of time and concluded her speech was just fine for her age. All other areas were fine too. I am not worried about the other areas because I knew she was fine in motor, language, readiness and cognitive. I am worried about her speech. What can I do?? Have another speech path. evaluate her?? Another problem: They said she didn't need any services because she was doing great. They said they just made her eligible because she had a hearing loss and will work with a hearing itinerant but didn't really need any services. They want to send her to an at-risk program with mixed kids (children that may be slightly autistic, down syndrome or speech delay) --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 that sounds terrible. I have found more success making this an ADA issue and focusing on the need for appropriate language accomodations in whatever language the student chooses in order to access the classroom curriculum. If the student doesn't have access that allows " equal " access , then the district is in violation of federal law -and they do have to pay attention to that in Michigan. Take a look at the legal stuff on this site and wrightslaw - it may be helpful since so much of what is involved with our students is directly related to their civil rights and discriminatory practices. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 What oyu got wasnot Armoru brand but Thyroid-S which si probably better than the new Armour now is. Thyroid-s is a desiccated thyroid the same as Amrour wihtout the issues peopole seem to have wiht new Amrour reformulaiton.
