Re: IEP update on Josh-long-sulata-SHERRY

August 19, 2006

Hi Sherry,

Thats wut i have been telling his teacher. he needs

more time to process u might have to repeat few times

b4 he acts on it.but she says i'm not trained on

talking to kids with language delay but the SPED

teacher is. She has 20 other kids in the class so she

doesn't have time to do all this. We have IEP this

tuesday n wut i have decided is give him longer time

in the regular pre-k n repeat things till he gets or

if they really want to help my child SPED teacher can

teach him 1-0-1 30 mns in the morning n 30 mns in the

afternoon in a seperate class without any other SPED

children around other option is give him some shadow

for the time where he is struggling with some stuff .I

feel like this is a fair request if they really care

abt my child .

what u guys think.he is learning so much n i c some

new words everyday. yesterday he stayed on green( good

behavior) n did all the right things n got his smiley

face.H e was so happy n proud to get one piece of

candy from his teacher for good beahaviour it was

worth million $$$$.

Thanx for all the support.

does your son have a 1-0-1? sounds like he is making strides - particularly

with the " on green " (I'm assuming that's a behavior thing?) - that's great!

sounds also like the teacher needs some training - you can have that written

into the IEP as well, you know! keep up your good work on behalf of your son

and remember to give him huge hugs for all his hard work!

Hi, all, it is a busy time of the year isn't it? School, placement,

all the roadblocks, etc. This message really struck a chord with me.

I enrolled in the T-K program during enrollment. The sped

preschool teacher is so not happy about it. In fact, she informed me

that her plan would be to keep him in PALS for another two years,

which would mean almost 5 years in her class. Her reasoning is that

he is lang. delayed, etc. So, I was told that he couldn't transition

into the T-K class from the PALS class and would have to go all day.

So I figured, okay, whatever. I went Friday for the compact mtg.

with the T-K teacher, and the PAls teacher sat in and again tried to

talk me out of it. She got the principal in there, and started

throwing out reasons why he wouldn't do well in the T-K class, like

behavior issues. I've been griping about 's sensory issues,

and transition difficulties and she has always said he acts just

fine in her class. So I made sure and mentioned that I just 'didn't

get ' where she was coming from, since there are no behavior goals

and obj. on his IEP. Zing! We ended up agreeing to a team meeting on

Monday a.m. to discuss the issue with all team members present. I am

pretty ticked by the whole deal, they're acting as though is

mentally handicapped, won't behave and will not do well in less

restrictive setting. It's so irritating that even people who should

know him well are judging his intelligence on his intelligibility.

Oh, and they were supposed to provide speech services all summer,

and never notified me of times beyond regular summer school. Now the

speech path is claiming I never showed up! Like I don't have a phone

number. Hers is unlisted. Mine is not. Not to mention we work for

the same school district. I'm a sped teacher in an elementary school

and they're trying to pull this garbage on me. I guess it's open

season, huh? Hope everyone else's beginning of the year is going

better than mine. Wish me luck on Monday at the ambush!

bye;

Roni

Goodluck .I will keep u posted how abt my

meeting on tuesday. If they really care abt my son I'm

sure they will agree for my request helping 1-0-1 for

30mns or give him shadow atleast for part of the day.

Thanx Sherry for the support. Yes I do make him spl

when he stays on green (good behavior)n it makes my

day just to see him so happy. he cries those days when

he doesn't get green report.
