Notes from last night Cherab's meeting

[Guest guest]

Hello,

What a great meeting. Cheryl talked about being an advocate for your child,

iep's and sensory intergration. Many parents had questions and issues. She

also talked about a circle of friends, on how to make sure your child is

treated equally in the class when the child is transitioned, as well as

educationing other children in her classroom about being included with

different disabilities.

There were 2 sensory intergration therapists there also, which talked about what

sensory intergration was and hypotonia. Dr Laveman also was there talking about

insurance and other issues he faces as a professional in order to help our

children.

is so right about one thing, educationing yourself is the only real

tool that helps us understand what is going on with our children. You cannot

kick yourself on what you should have done in the past, but know how to

better educate yourself for the future. As a last note, the Bergen County

newsletter was handed out to the parents, reminding them of upcoming

meetings. Jan 9th this wed, the bergen county group will talk about

insurance issues, at Hillcrest School. 60 West Midland Ave, Paramus,NJ

Take care
