Re: need suggestion on programs

[Guest guest]

I recently received this from Carol Sloan with FEAT-Houston, it's an

announcement regarding a new autism classroom within an ABA clinic.

Spectrum of Hope announces the opening of Hope Extended, an ABA based

classroom program, on January 7, 2008.

Two classrooms will be available for enrollment - the Acquisition Room and

the Transition Room.

Designed for school age children with speech, language, developmental,

learning and/or behavior disorders.

Ideal for:

•Short term placement for children who need to acquire or master classroom

readiness

skills in order to benefit from a public school setting

•Long term placement for children whose parents prefer a private classroom

option

•Grouped by skill level and are multi-age populations

•Acquisition Classrooms and Transition Classrooms

•Range from a 1:1 Teacher/Child ratio to 1:2 Teacher/Child ratio with aides

present in each room

•Assessments of a child’s development and skills are performed by a

clinical psychologist and behavior analyst prior to placement in a classroom

•Supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst & Certified Teacher

•Collaboration with clinical psychologist/educational psychologist

•Skills addressed: Attending/On task behaviors Independent Work

Individual/Group Instruction Language Academics Sensory Integration

Sequencing/Schedules Reduction of inappropriate behaviors

•Monthly teacher/BCBA/team/parent conferences

•Daily/Weekly review of child’s progress

•Daily progress Reports

•Full and part time options

For information and applications for both classes, please email

_kkw625@..._ (mailto:kkw625@...) or call 281/894-1423.

Hi. what's the name of the private school (not for profit) in Houston that your

twins went to? Are you satisfied with the school? My son was just recently

diagnosed with Autism and he's age 2 yrs and 7 months. To date, he is still

being handled by project ECI-Grow. But my concern is, he'll be turning 3 yrs

this May when he'll then be transitioned to PPCD program but it's off for

summer, which means he'll get no services/theraphy for 3 months?! I don't want

to wait for my son to regress that's why we're looking for programs to best

suit him. can anyone give me suggestions on good schools, programs? do i need

to bring him to a DAN doctor at an early age? he does not have any bowel

problems though. My son is not talking yet until now, no words and doctors from

Texas Children's suggest a more intensive theraphy on speech and ABA.... I hope

anyone can direct me which way to go...i feel time is of the essence and

information are becoming too

overwhelming....Has anyone seen Dr. Volpe???

Bernadette

PS. by the way, i live in houston, southwest part....thanks!

RE-EVALUATION BY DISTRICT REQUIRED?

My twins were referred to CFISD by ECI in 2/2005 when they turned 3

with an initial speech delay diagnosis. They had been diagnosed with

Autism in December 2003 by Stanford University Hospital in California

prior to us moving to Houston. Both twins were also diagnosed with

Autism by the district in 4/2005 and had been attending PPCD services

half days in addition to their enrollment in a private, not-for-profit

school in Houston, also half days. One of them mainstreamed into public

kindergarten with the help of a shadow (prior to being his shadow she

had been the para-professional in his PPCD class) at the beginning of

schoolyear 07/08 while my other is still attending the non-profit

private school. Because of the longer school day at his pivate school

he no longer attends the public school but receives speech services

through Spring-Branch ISD once per week for 45 minutes because that's

the district the private school is located in. Now I get a letter from

Cy-Fair asking if I'm interested in a reevaluation. Am I required to

have him reevaluated if we decide to enroll him in public school with

the coming 08/09 school year? Why would he need a reevaluation (he'll

still have Autism...)? Could we just request an ARD when the time comes

to work out his IEP etc? The letter, btw is the " Private School/Home

school questionnaire " . Any input would be greatly appreciated!

They DO???????????????????????? Definitely not in our district.

More statewide discrepancies, where kids are either born into the

right or wrong zip code. Ho hum.

Plano recommmended an ESL class for our child when he was in PPCD in

order to get summer services for one measly hour a week. This was

only because they were ordered by a hearing officer to consider ESY,

which they had failed to do at all the previous summer. So that's

what PISD came up with. That's just so appropriate for a

communication disorder, dontcha think?

Sorry, but the sarcasm is unavoidable. That must be what happens

when you lose due process. The districts become even more outrageous

in their bold one-size-fits-all, delivery model/administrative

convenience/resource management-dictates-all approach to IEP

development.

You have to prove that your child needs PPCD and it would be a

hardship to the child if it did not have PPCD. To do that, you would

basically have to have the child evaluated after a long absence to

see if it qualifies the following summer for PPCD. By then, it is

too late.

Thank you so much for all your suggestions, I truly appreciate it and will

definitely look into it. I know that PPCD runs through summer but ECI mentioned

to me that they only accept kids if they show signs of regression. But any

parent would'nt want to wait for their child to regress right???

, do you mind if I ask what Insurance are you in now? Cause you

mentioned that you've been reimbursed 100% so far, I thought that's really very

good.

So as far as you know, this just started in summer 2007? Maybe our

case has resulted in some meaningful changes then.

I know Dallas offers summer PPCD, but I am talking about Plano

specifically. I have been told conclusively by the district that

there is no summer PPCD in Plano and the posts to the contrary were

mistaken. It doesn't matter how well you know the law when there

isn't even the option of getting ESY in your district. Or should I

should request they bus my three year old to Dallas to get the

services he needs?

I wish standing your ground worked the same in every district and

every ARD meeting. When we stood our ground, Plano filed suit on us.

The more knowledge we gained, the harder they fought.
