Language Facilitator question

[Guest guest]

Do any of your kids use a language facilitator in middle school?

I have run in to another issue with middle school placement. Seems

if Jake does qualify for the HI program he cannot have a langauge

facilitator. He can have an oral interpreter or CS transliterator

but not a LF. Still can't really understand what they were saying

the reason is. I am sure the SPED administrator is getting tired of

me...LOL

The reason we want to keep his CST as a LF is because the neuro and

the audi say he definately needs someone to be there to cue but also

to help him with getting behind the class and such. He has been

diagnosed with static encephalopathy with complex neurobehavioral

issues. I think this is a fancy way of saying he has auditory

neuropathy, ADDH-inattentive, language processing and maybe auditory

processing issues, plus has OCD.

He is very bright but does get lost. I have been calling him

superbowl boy because he is on a 5 second delay. LOL

It took him 2.5 hours to take the math test last week, It took the

other kids 35-45 minutes. He passed it and is on grade level but

takes him so much longer to think things through.

Thanks,
