after school care needed for 13 yr old girl in Magnolia

[Guest guest]

My daughter is 13 years old and is diagnosed PDD.  She is verbal, very

bright, but has limited academic skills and social skills characteristic of

PDD.  For the past three years, she was enrolled in day care at " A Child's View "

in Magnolia.  This served us well until this year.  From November through March,

Magnolia Junior High School enrolled her at Bayes Achievement Center day school

in hopes to resolve behaviorial issues which prevented academic progress. 

Although she has improved at school both academically and behaviorally, her

behavior at daycare declined.  I can only attribute this to hormonal changes, or

the daycare's increasing intolerance of 's behaviors.  I have contacted

Sharon of MISD special education, but she will be of limited help because

of confidentiality rules.  I have registered  for services with

Tri-County MHMR, but it seems that they can only offer very limited financial

relief, and I

am on my own when it comes to finding a day care provider.  Because

is 13 years old, and because of her inability to cope in conventional day care

environments, I feel that the best solution is to find an individual who can

watch her from their home with their own child.  This individual needs to live

in MISD because MISD will not go beyond their routes and bus her to any out of

district location. I've exhausted all the resources in Magnolia that I know of. 

 Time is running short, and I do not know who else to contact.  Please contact

me by e-mail or telephone.

 

 

Thank you.
