What does ARD stand for please? To: Texas-Autism-Advocacy From: snspearson@...Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 19:42:07 -0600Subject: Re: What do I do with a director like this?

Doesnt it have to be brought up at the ARD?

This director will tell me what they aren't going to do.

What do I say to these things?

She said, "We have been trained to impliment the

Transition Class Program

(3 year job skills training for high school sped), but the

parents just aren't

interested. They just love the safety of their child

being in Mrs. R's CBI

(community based instruction) class. They don't even want

their child to

leave the room for electives. We know that you want

to be mainstreamed

for electives."

Well I want Transition Class Programing too if we are

going to be in CBI. I know

that aren't telling the parents it even exists, and they

don't know to ask.

They put road blocks up to everything. Every eval.

Everything.

Do I need to find that newspaper report that wants to do

an article on

and what he is doing through his waiver program with his

caregivers and at

home to be a successful and productive citizen and mention

that the school

has this TCP, but the school says parents aren't

interested? Then maybe

some parents will read about it and call the school or the

newpaper reporter.
