Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Dear Shona, For middle school, your son needs a PERSONAL assistant, not a teaching assistant that helps four other kids. It's hard to convince schools to agree to this, but worth anything you have to do. It doesn't make sense to give a single teacher an assistant to help the kids with disabilities when our kids move around the school from one classroom to another. Our argument was that we had always been very happy with the help our school system had given my son, so we would be very sorry if we were forced to send him to a private school at their expense! Somehow they managed to find the funds to hire a personal assistant for him. Once the school year started, nobody tried to tell us that he didn't need her.
