Re: Special Needs PTA

[Guest guest]

Hi Becky...

Just wanted to be sure you new about Inner Health Ministries, led by

psychologist, Dr. Cara Marker Daily in Cleveland across from Fairview

Hospital. Her organization is a non-proft and accepts applications

for scholarships for her social skills classes and summer camp.

Those are also on a sliding scale so you wouldn't necessarily have to

pay 100%, even if you didn't qualify for a scholarship. My AS son

attended her camp this past August on a 90% scholarship and is

attending her weekly social skills classes ( " Building Behaviors " ) on

a 100% scholarship. We are very grateful!!!!!!! HEre is the link to

her website: http://innerhealthministries.com/

for special needs. Even though I am in a great school system that

provides wonderful services at school, I cannot get those " luxuries "

(as my insurance co likes to refer to them as) of services outside of

school unless I pay out of pocket. SO......I'm using my position on

the board to get this started to use the great resources we have and

the money. Anyway......I'm putting together some goals and would love

input from all of you. Here is what I am thinking of so far:

>

covered by insurance (ex: social skills, music therapy, etc.)

> > * info on events (like the ones that are passed on thru out

groups) that are available - make sure the word gets out (post at

schools, email lists, etc.)

> > * integrated playgroups

> > * peer buddy programs

> > * aide support for children w/special needs that may want to

attend Daisy Scouts or an HCER class, for example

>

> Thank you in advance for any input!
