Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Listmates, I have in the last week, approved memberships for about 13 individuals who have public school e-mail addresses... from different area districts.... When we are discussing the issues and concerns we have with the public school programs for autism -- let's be aware, and respectful, of all who may be on this list. Let's not just " slam " or " complain " --- let's be sure to share and educate and offer solutions for those who are truly on this list to learn, and not just to " spy " or " lurk " . I know we share our frustrations and vent at times - that is good and needed. But let's try and also remember to offer solutions where possible... " This situation would have been better if we had ____________ in place... If the teacher had _______________ training.... Not that we, or they, can solve things easily -- but let's create an atmosphere where this list is continually respected for the information and advocacy efforts! And a bit of 'caution' to any who may be on this list for the sole purpose of breaking those positive efforts.... Any use of information in these e-mail exhanges that is contrary to the purpose of this list, will not be tolerated. If found out that posts from individuals on this list are forwarded or mis-interpreted for the sole purpose of retaliation, the person doing so will be removed from list priviledges... I have a " banned " button - and I'm not afraid to use it! (smile) Disagreements are welcome - I actually welcome Special Education Administrators and Personnel to join this list. Share your views, but do it respectfully. Thanks! Guppy.......... M. Guppy My autism journey isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.... Texas Autism Advocacy: www.TexasAutismAdvocacy.org " There are some aspects of a person's life that we have no right to compromise. We cannot negotiate the size of an institution. No one should live in one. We cannot debate who should get an inclusive education. Everyone should. We cannot determine who does and who does not get the right to make their own choices and forge their own futures. All must. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
