school is referring my daugher to a private school, one hour away!!!Help

[Guest guest]

Hi, We have finally been able to convince the school that they

don't know enough about Aspergers to teach our daughter..They were

failing to provide the provisions laid out in her IEP (from another

school district) such as:

They don't have an inclusive program for Algebra

They also have what they call " block scheduling " which is

killing our daughter..It is a 90 min class, and because they don't

break down the concepts enough while teaching(they have 20 other

students in the class), they have to do alot of reteaching...

Our daughter has never had to have OT, but they want to evaluate

her for it now, because they that this is why she is failing...

We think it is because she can't put that much info into her brain

in one sitting

They have referred her out to a private school, but it is an

hour away from our home!!! I think they are punishing us because

they are failing!!

The school district that we were in last year, is 1/2 hour away,

and they knew what they were doing!!!Couldn't they just refer us to

another public school, or are they just too embarassed that they

don't know enough about Autism Spectrum Disorders??Any

Suggestions??

i know the distance can be a pain but they will provide the bussing cuz if ur school district cannot give her the education she needs they need to place her in a school that will AT THEIR COST no cost to u my kids were referred out and i was happy cuz i knew they couldnt meet the needs of my kids but it took them till 5 th grade with my one son to realise this something i kept trying to tell them for yrs .if they are ashamed that they cant teach her or they r giving up on her i know it sucks but if it means getting her in a school that can helo her GO FOR IT totally better than them thinking they can teach her and failing miserably if my kids would of been in the proper school from the get go maybe they wouldnt be as far behind as they are godd luck to you and your daughter i hope if u do send her that she gets the help she needs and who knows shhe may blosson in the new school keep us posted
