Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Barbara, he should qualify for extended school year due to loss of what has been learned. They use extended school year just for that purpose if a child is unable to retain what they have learned and will lose it during school break than they need to stay in school, your local school special ed dept should know about it, it can also be listed in the iep. and Hailee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Looking for suggestions, I'm finding my son really doesn't fit in any category and trying to find the best placement for him. Most programs i am finding are either geared to severely physically handicapped childern who are also mentally challenged or learning disabled due to emotional or behavioral problems. He basically has missed alot of school due to hospitalizations and has suffered a stroke, cognitively he has it all but due to the stroke he has lost some basic concepts and he was right handed and the stroke affected his right side so he has to learn to write with his left hand. He is nine going on ten and will be in the fifth grade. i also worry about his social skills, lack of being with other children (having to stay home due to his illness or being in hospitals) so I have to worry about his social skills as well. Just wondering if anybody has suggestions I know he needs something but can't find it and the child study team is no help, they don't want to have to pay for anything so they are not coming up with any suggestions. Thanks for any ideas. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
