Workshop of interest about spec. ed. services - hope some of you can attend!

January 22, 2008

Workshop directed at teachers and assessment personnel....

The attempts at humor in the naming of their workshops is very telling....

(and quite disgusting!)

Parents are urged to attend, and if they do, to be sure they do not let on

that they are parents - especially a parent of a student with autism as they

very well may escort you out the door...

Course sample:

9:00 – 9:45

" Super Kids " :

Evaluating for Autism Under IDEA

" The number of students diagnosed as autistic has exploded and

the impact on schools has been dramatic. This session will discuss

how to deal with outside evaluations and how a district

should conduct its own evaluation that can be defended in court. "

10:00 – 10:45

" Kryptonite - ABA and TEACCH and PECS, Oh My! " :

Autism Methodology Cases and What Can be Learned

From Them

One of the biggest battlegrounds in autism cases is the area of

methodology. An experienced school law attorney will provide an

insightful analysis of cases where districts have won or lost in

litigation involving methodology. "

Please forward to all interested parties...and wouldn't you like to know if

your school district folks are going to spend your tax dollars on this teacher

training...vs sending your teach to a workshop on HOW to teach.

Don't tell God how big your storm is - tell the storm how big your God is!

" 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. "
