School.................HELP!!!!

[Guest guest]

Are your kids in spec ed classes or are mainstream? Do they get

taken out a certain amount of hours/day? Do they have an aide?

The school my son goes to is not a level 2 assist. No self-contained

classes. Only general ed. If they have an IEP---they are taken out.

My son is taken out for reading--30 min, writing--30 min, speech and

social---for I don't remember how long.

There are aides in the classroom to help the kids---not just my son.

His teacher is concerned about next year. Right now he is in all day-

--2 days/week---kindergarten. Next year---all day, every day.

I don't want him in a spec ed classroom with " handicapped " kids. He

is smart---but alittle behind on reading/writing. (his sister is

dyslexic and processing disorder). He loves math and does well. His

problems are behavior, attention, impulsiveness, aggression. When in

small group or one on one---he's FINE!!! Our school has NEVER had

any ASD kids in it. They haven't a clue as what they are doing. They

are going to get the other school that has a level 2 assist program

to come and observe him. He may need to go to their school next

year.

I want him to get the services that he needs. How can I do that--if

the school doesn't even know whats going on???
