We have our IEP tomorrow since our son has been diagnosed with AS. I need to

come up with a statement for his vision plan. They say this needs to come

from his family as to what we want to see accomplished. Can you all give me

ideas as to what may be appropriate for this?

They are going to focus big time on his behavior issues so I want to be

ready for this.

Thanks.

Your vision statement can be as long and elaborate or as short and simple as

you want to write it. I would pick the top few items you want to see

accomplished at school and write them down. " I would like our son to... " If

they

are focusing on behavior and you want them to focus on learning about AS, you

can even write that - " We would like our son to improve his ability to

behave appropriately at school by having teachers and staff who are trained in

dealing with AS behaviors...or by having an appropriate behavior plan

implemented.... "

It really is anything you want to say.

I would write it as his Present Level of Functioning. Describe where he is

at developmentally, what his strengths and needs are and what your dreams are

for his future. Pam

What are the triggers that are causing his behavior issues? Is it

transitions problems? If so, he needs a picture schedule. Is it too

much stimuli/background noise etc? Then he needs an area where he

can work on his school work without the distractions. It also sounds

like a reward system needs to be set up to reward him for the good

behaviors. I'll be home all day and will periodically check...let me

know if you have additional information. I will be happy to help.

Suzanne: What county/state? If you are local, I have a friend who is dealing

with vision in her IEP.

I didn't realize you meant " vision " as in sight. Does the child have

mobility goals in the IEP that the district is addressing? Pam

Thanks Roxanna, This is what I was kind of thinking it should be but wasn't

real sure how to word it. I know the team would just sit there and look at

me and I want to be as prepared as possible since I am not going to agree

with them to send him to a severe behavior classroom.

o.k. I answered in my first email back to you then, LOL. I saw someone

respond something about sight and realized I could have misinterpreted what you

had typed.

hello everyone,

I'm in the process of getting my son tested. The speech therapist at school

and myself are pretty sure he has apraxia and dylexia. We'll see how the

neuropsych tests go next week.

Question. Once you have a diagnosis for apraxia, does your IEP goals change

drastically? The school is telling me no.....I tend to disagree.

Does anyone get summer school for apraxia?

Once you have a diagnosis like dylsexia, do they have to provide a specific

training like method etc....or can they just say we teach a similar

method of " combined " theories, which is bascially what I've been seeing in his

homework anyway.

Do the diagnosis change the school's reaction any for you? They told us that

they are not required to take the advice of " our specialists " . We're paying for

it because we want to get this done as soon as possible before the next grade.

He's currently in 1st grade.

And does anyone know any good speech and language therapists in the

Joliet/Lockport, Orland Park area of Illinois ?

thank you

dian

His issues sound like PT issues, not OT issues. From: r14fun@... <r14fun@...>Subject: ( ) IEP Goals Date: Thursday, February 10, 2011, 2:33 PMsI have been a silent member for some time now and would first like to thank

everyone for all that I have learned from you. All of you have truly been an inspiration. My son, who is 8, has a diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome and Sensory Processing Disorder, but we have suspected for some time that he is an Aspie. Reading all of your posts has definitely reinforced that, especially the recent hilarious comments about Aspie logic, it is so him. If I may, I have a question. I just left my son’s annual IEP and am a little frustrated. His OT wants to diminish the service he is receiving to a consult basis only. I don’t agree and in fact believe that currently not enough is being done. Fortunately, the group was in partial agreement and the OT is supposed to get back to me with an additional goal for improvement in motor planning. Her goals (or goal, she only had

one) seem to be a bit simplistic for an 8 year old, so I would like to get back to her with my own goal (or goals). So my question is, do any of you have any examples or suggestions for how I should write it?. Currently he is very uncoordinated, has balance issues and can’t play two square, handball (or any sport for that matter), to save his life. I don’t need a sports champion but his inability to do those things speaks to a bigger issue that she is missing, any help is appreciated. Thanks

I have had no luck getting ay PT or OT in school at all. My son oes private and gets a alot from that but recently insurance is balking at paying for that since he has had two sessions weekly for 2 1/2 years. They say it is not longer medically necessary so we are doing once a week and a home program support byt he OT for now. They told us to watch for regression because if we see any we could go back in and start up again and insurance would have to cover it. My advice to you would be the same- document , document document, and create a pattern of where his issues are and especially if you see any regrression, then you can go back in and explain they made a mistake and he still needs that service.

Maybe you could ask for an assessment done from a neutral party? If you disagree I wouldn't sign anything that makes it look like you are in agreement. I would call a local advocate and ask how to handle it so it doesn't backfire later on you.

Thanks all for the info, Fortunately we did not agree and they backed down, so for now he is receiving the same services. I had not even considered the PT end of it (what a knuckle head) he has been in OT for a few years now with some improvement but mostly sensory. I will definately look into that.

Thanks all
