Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Dr. Lipsey, whose site is: _www.richardlipsey.com_ (http://www.richardlipsey.com) , works with atty's across the country - big firms - like in the Ed McMahon case - he is a toxicologist who travels nationwide and you can call him and talk to him about these buildings with the questionable tests. He will either review the test where he is (ville, FL) or come to you, part of your atty's team. He can identify the flaws in the testing, officially. Please also visit _www.schoolmoldhelp.org_ (http://www.schoolmoldhelp.org) for info on testing in the FAQ.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Schools....at least if it is a public school....is a government building. So, no lawyer should be needed to get the results - it is public information. Although, I do believe he told you that - that is certainly the way school districts work.....been there, done that!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hi , I understand what you are going through, I think. I went through something very similar in my school. In my situation....no one was any help (although face to face or over the phone they may have ACTED like they wanted to be helpful). The bottom line is money for these schools. They don't want to spend the money to CORRECTLY remediate the mold. Therefore, they will make life difficult for people who are getting very ill from the mold in the hopes that they will go away and not cause havoc at the school and district level. If you have the energy - fight. But also, keep in mind your health. You must take care of yourself! I wish I would have taken better care of myself as I now have permanent immune and neurological damage due to the mold exposure. So....yourself first (which, I know as an educator, you have a " servants " mind...but trust me....take care of yourself) and then, with the energy you have left...fight. Parents are a great source - if they will listen. Are any children having difficulties? Those would be the parents to contact first. If you have any " power " parents in your school that are incredibly involved, they may also be a good source. Also, your local news station and newspapers would be a great source too. Gool luck to you. Keep us posted. God Bless, ML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents can file lawsuits - teachers often can't or won't - you have all the power, mom, just get to an attorney and have the atty. make them cough up the mold test and have more done by Dr. Lipsey. Contact the PTA and get other parents involved, too. You can hand out notices on the sidewalk (public property not school property) to inform other parents of your concerns, etc. Organize. Go to the Parent Power page of _www.schoolmoldhelp.org_ (http://www.schoolmoldhelp.org) and see the steps for organizing - the Green Flags program will help you, link is on that page. Parents have the most power - legally. You must use it. You can't do it alone, use groups and get an atty. You won't pay - get one to work on contingency. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 My son, who is 19-months old has ST (from Early Intervention) once a week for like 30-45 minutes. The girl is trying to get his services extended (supposed to end end of June) and possibly more days. It stinks, because she is fairly new because the other guy kept not showing up. <http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wcrQNBL/> <http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wpdTo6d/> <http://www.tickerfactory.com/weight-loss/wcrQNBL/> <http://newyork.areaconnect.com/> ________________________________ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Ashleigh Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 7:54 PM Subject: [ ] Re: schools I fought the school district for 3 years trying to get aprropriate speech therapy, I was unable to even get one on one speech after he got into kindergarten. My son is has has always been considered severe. When he entered preschool at 3 years old he had less than a dozen words. In kindergarten the best I could get was with one and sometimes two other children, 4 days a week for only 20 mins a day. When you figure that most of that time was with at least one other child he would have been getting at best 10 mins a day. > > Hi, > Is anyone getting the appropriate speech therapy their child needs in their school district?

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I think that half an hour every day is 'amazing'. You are very lucky! It is the daily exercises that really make the changes occur even if it is in small doses. This is the type of therapy that works best.

I'm just curious. Currently my son get's half an hour a day in school, but I just found another school which is a bit farther away, but it has a speech teacher in the room throughout the whole day. Does anybody else know of a program that offers speech included like this in the classroom setting? We would consider a move if the drive into this school is too long for our son, and it is in a town we would not want to move to. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I remember having to stand in line (boys on one side, girls on the other) before we could enter the elementary school. I could never stand still and had to stand with my knees bent to keep my balance which was exhausting. Talk about stress and no one twigged...ever. My braces didn't clue them in that this kid needed to be allowed to enter without standing in line and sweating it out. Those weren't the good old days.
