Questions about Puplic School.....

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

I have a questions for those of you with children in elementary school. My son

Jakob is in the Autstic LD Special Ed Program with Inclusion. He was in the

Behavioral Service Program. I had him changed because I didn't think they were

dealing with the real issue. They always say he is " defiant " , I hate that word,

its just a fancy way of saying your child is BAD! Which I do not believe he is

bad, I believe he was BORED! I asked them " well, what program are the other AS

children in? " Yeah, they just looked at me. The BSP teacher told the Autistic

Specialist that she never saw one trait of AS in Jakob. I asked her if she had

and M.D. folowing her last name! I do not think they believe me even though the

doctors have sent them a full evaluation, etc..

Sorry about the spill. My questions are:

1. What program are your children in?

2. How do I get them to understand Jakob and AS?

3. Should I continue to let him be mainstreamed even if I believe he'd be better

off in a very small setting?

Thanks for all your support and helping to ease our minds!
