my day tomorrow

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I just had to mix up my appt so

I can do this tomorrow

go to my pain clinic appointment(still need to get my chronic book and

questions together. I have some from the list.)

then I go get my Xolair shots appointment , for which during the horrid

pollen season it doesn't work as well,

so I am rethinking those, works the rest of the time. If I am not able to

get them, I cough and wheeze and sometimes

when I do get the vial I still cough wheeze during the high pollen season.

So I don't know what to do about that one?

Then in the afternoon, I am hoping to be able to go thru my sons IEP meeting

after all of my appts aredone

due to his IEP is due the 18th and I have put it off due to appointments

Just to let you know

HUGS

Good Luck, let us know how it goes. For those who don't know a IEP is an

Individual Educational Plan. I am a special education advocate, and if

you ever need

any assistance, you can write me privately. I was always disappointed in the

schools that do not set up a pre IEP meeting and contact parents to set goals

and identify

items for the agenda. The parents would come the meeting and just get slammed

with information from the members of the IEP committee and then be asked to

sign off. That is my one focus and I have worked in this field and was

certified in the State of Illinois as a Service Provider providing resources and

case managing

clients and families. It was a very rewarding and I enjoyed learning from

seminars and my classes.

When I moved to Texas most of the service provider jobs require you to be

bilingual in Spanish and I am not. I got my Masters in Special Education and

worked in the

School System as case manager for students and was the Behavior Specialist

and was responsible for thirty students and monitoring and providing support.

I do this for limited students due to my disability from home preparing

parents for IEP's and discussing the laws that protect these students (IDES)

I learned quit a bit from this experience in my life and would gladly share

what I know and still have contact with an active Advocate. I developed a

Handbook for all my students with templates and checklist to prepare them

and resource to there condition. I put it in a three ring binder that has

a clear plastic cover that you can put phots of so when you take it to the

meeting, the commitee members see the student in different situations rather

than behavior problems (I am not saying this is your problem, but that is

what I was assigned to manage). I suggested pictures of the student with family,

maybe doing some chores and other situations. It is very effective so the

members do not just focus on issues that are problems.

I hope a good day and contact me privately if I can ever assist you

with IEP's and other resources. : ) Hang in there, there are other members here

that are in the field also that may know resources if needc. Bennie
