RE: physical education in school?

[Guest guest]

Diane,

Do your Children have IEP's or a 504 plan? My son is in eighth grade, has

an I.E.P., and is

not in P.E. We had our Dr. write a letter explaining mito and that he should

not have P.E.. My 9 year old

has a 504 plan with the accommodation that he is permitted to adjust his

participation in P.E. according to

how he feels and what the weather conditions are. So far, we have not had

any problems. If they have a medical

reason and documentation from a doctor, I don't see how the school district

can force

the issue. I hope this helps a little.

physical education in school?

I have twins, aged 13, who have been on the mito cocktail since

September. My daughter presented with significant fatigue two years

ago. It has taken us this long to unravel all the questions, and we

are still on the journey. Last semester in middle school she

started later each day than the other kids and did not take P.E.

This move was to her benefit. This semester the school wants her to

go back to P.E. to fulfill a countywide requirement. She is the

kind of kid who will try to keep up with everyone else and I fear it

will make her condition deteriorate. Do other mito children take

P.E. in school? How do you get out of P.E. if there is a state

requirement that everyone must enroll in P.E? I'm trying to find

the loophole. Thanks, Diane

Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.

Not sure about your state/local requirements but when I was a kid in H.S I had a doctors excuse to release me from participating in P.E. At the time I was suffering from alot of medical problems and have arthritis which is especially bad in my knees. I still had to attend P.E. but did not have to participate.
