Thanks for driver ed. advice!

[Guest guest]

Wow, I really appreciate all your ideas and experiences with driver training,

thank you so much. We already have Mia's car, (a Grand Am) which she

practices on, and my husband has installed the pedal extenders for her. Mia

doesn't think that at this point she can remove and install her own pedal

extenders on various vehicles, and I would want to make sure that they were

properly installed. As far as the larger picture, I feel if the district

provides vehicles for students then they should provide vehicles for

students, ALL students, there are many other students in our district with

special needs who can use the car. No, Mia doesn't need hand controls, but

she does need the behind the wheel instruction, so if it has to be hand

controls so be it. A special thanks to Ruth Ricker who sent the 504 info.

The head of student services, who I mentioned in my first post, fought us

tooth and nail over a 504 issue two years ago. She does not like the

paperwork that goes with a 504! Best, Jean
