Hi Roxanna,

that is 100% true. there motto: (school) if it doesn't bother me, don't fix

it.

Like Dave posted. Its best to read up on our rights, become the best

advocates that we can for our kids, be strong, fight for what our kids need, and

kick ass!!!! (maybe not those exact words) *smile*

I've started reading a little at a time with the site you all keep posting:

www.wrightslaw.com

I'm getting ready for this next CSE meeting. and I not trying to hear. We

don't see that here...I know just what I'm going to push for. (that my son

needs)...I've also been reading " how to write the IEPs. Very interesting.

Happy New Year!!!!

I think they don't see it because they don't know how to fix it.

Another thought is that they don't look because they dismiss your concerns

outright. It's also true that unless your child is causing a problem for someone

else, they often don't bother dealing with it as well.

Re: ( ) help on the play ground

Hi Pam,

Why do schools do that? including the therapists, when they say, " He doesn't do

that here " . or he is doing so well at school, we don't see that behavior. but

the after school activities like the dance teacher/swim teacher/basketball coach

etc.... wants to throw them out because of inappropriate social skills and not

following (understanding) instructions.

Is this because the school doesn't know what to look for? There not there long

enough to observe the behavior? comparing to a child that has more needs? they

want to look good by saying that doesn't happen at school? or other? I always

wonder why the school doesn't see it????

to admit though that I tend to believe my son and not the school therapists

when they say how well he is doing at recess and lunch and that his

perception is very different from what is going on. Pam

Rose,

I am so glad you are reading over at wrightslaw.com! You will learn volumns!

Another thing about the " we don't see that here " comment - go visit the school

and see for yourself. You will either be surprised that you child really does

manage without doing that there, or you will see that he does have that problem

and nobody notices or it doesn't bother them. Either way, it can help you

advocate knowing what is really going on.
