Aussie schools

[Guest guest]

I don't know of anything in our state Sth Australia, that is for cf

kids. Our school had a meeting with us and we told them this is what we

want and they do everything we asked. When she was two I spoke with the

campus headmaster and he said it doesn't matter what is wrong with the

kids they would still take them (if you can get them in). They have

ramp's everywhere there are stairs , but I've never seen anyone in a

wheelchair. Maybe as she gets older we may face more issues of non

attendance? Hopefully she can plan her hsp. admission for school

holidaysLOL.

Re: response to post on 504 plan in us schools

DEAR ALL

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IN THE UK EDUCATION SYSTEM THEY HAVE WHAT IS

CALLED A RECORD OF NEEDS. THE CHILD IS ASSESSED BEFORE GOING TO SCHOOL

OR EVEN AFTER STARTING TO SEE IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO COPE WITH THE

EVERYDAY REGIME OF SCHOOL LIFE EG; STAIRS, CLASS SIZES, SAFETY, AND LOTS

OF OTHER POINTS. ONCE THE RECORD OF NEEDS IS OPENED THE SCHOOL HAS THEN

TO MEET THE CHILDS NEEDS AND YOU HAVE A MEETING ONCE A YEAR TO SEE IF

THEY HAVE BEEN. IF NOT THEY WILL BE TAKEN TO TASK AS TO WHY NOT AND

THINGS WILL BE PUT IN PLACE TO DO SO.THIS IN MY OPINION IS A VERY GOOD

WAY TO KEEP ON TOP OF SCHOOLS WHO ARE NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN OUR

CHILDREN.

TAKE CARE GOD BLESS IRIS

these plans or equivalents in their own countries--and whose parents

have never even heard of them--especially in the usa!
