Guest guest Posted March 28, 2002 Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 Audrey, Two years ago when apraxic ds was diagnosed by EI I remember that would it go on his school record was one of my stated concerns. Within a year my older son was diagnosed with tracking issues and borderline motor skill problems. That was a tough year and I have changed a lot because of it. Now I can no longer remember why I was so afraid of kids needing special education being documented. Now I am fighting during IEP on older ds for them to acknowledge that tracking problems affect him academicly as well as in PE (even though because of my tutoring he is a good student). To me qualifying for an IEP means my child has a right to an individualized approach vs. just one of 22 kids in a class. I think we were brainwashed as children to fear what was written in permanent record and thus not want any non-average services offered. As I see it today the public school system is a government agency required to document everything. I say write whatever it takes to get my child the services they need.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2002 Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 Dawn, I have to laugh reading your post. (I just joined the message board yesterday). My son age 22 months had his EI evaluation on Monday of this week and that's the first thing I said to them before I signed it. " Will this go on his school record???? " Your correct in your statement that when I was young have anything like that on your school record was terrible. Today's schools are more inclusive and understanding of the " different " styles of learning children need. I'm working hard to keep that in mind. Your post reminded me of this yet again.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2002 Report Share Posted March 28, 2002 Can someone please explain what is the whole deal about classifications being part of a child's permanent record? As my son is in the process of transition into the school system I keep hearing this. What are the " cons " of this being in the high school records? Can the information actually deny them access to certain services? Thank you, Kate --- daalbe <daalbe@...> wrote: > Audrey, > Two years ago when apraxic ds was diagnosed by EI I > remember that would > it go on his school record was one of my stated > concerns.
