Re: school problems...............

[Guest guest]

I feel your pain and I am so sorry. It took me 3 years to finally

figure out what I have always really known. No one loves our kids like

we do and truthfully no one can help them except for us. We went

through 2 years at a special school that cost 55,000 per year and then

a grueling court battle with the public school system to help us pay

for it. Thankfully, by accident, (kind of the way I found this

wonderful diet!)I found the Institutes for the Achievement of Human

Potential in Philadelphia. They know what my kid is really capable of

and best of all, they ALWAYS believe in MOM! I took him out of school

and have never looked back. We go up there every 6 months for

reevaluation and for them to update his programs. He has made amazing

progress but I am hoping that SCD will get him over the " hump " language-

wise. Here is a link to a story our local paper did on my son, Zack.

It may help give you strength!

and they have been feeding her organic popcorn. They thought it would be ok.

She's been holding out @ school until they cave in. I just found this out

and I'm fuming. I am not sending her back to the school ever and contacting

advocacy on Mon. I am actually scared for her. No wonder why she has taken

17 months to get this far. I am

le,

The link didn't work for me but, THANK YOU for telling me that your

son's school BELIEVES IN MOM. That is something that I think is

underestimated by even good docs. I am so sad. The aide was trying to

protect Kali from their ignorance many times and I'm sure that's why they

decided to get rid of her.....? We have all been hurt so much in the

autistic community. When does it all end? Jenn & K

I would pull her out of school immediately, begin home schooling her, and

contact an attorney immediately. I am not kidding...about the home

schooling either. You can do it. People home school their special needs

children all the time. There are local, state, and national groups who can

specifically help you home school a special needs child. They can teach you

how...although you already know how. People like to say that you have to

have " special " training to know how to teach a " special " child. Give me a

break. Please email me off list if you would consider this even this

tiniest bit, and I will give you some info regarding all of this so that you

can make an informed decision.

I will be calling an attorney on Mon. I already tried and they were closed

yesterday. I have been seriously considering homeschooling Kali. I did

however get a chance to talk to her district CPSE and we are having an

emergency meeting on Mon. morning also. The DISTRICT does support MOM! The

class was great for her to be in until they decided to add 2 more kids. It

is a small classroom already with 13 people total in it. These are all

autistics too so you can imagine the " zoo " since the new kids were added.

The classroom seems to be out of control. Please send me ANY info. you have

about homeschooling. Without her reg. 1-1 aide I fear for Kali, as her

safety awareness isn't up to par yet. She has come a long way but, needs

more. Thanks for listening, Jenn & K school problems...............

Oh Jen I wish I could give you a big hug. I am in agreement with Meleah-pull

her out of school and homeschool I homeschooled my two for two years and if I

can do it anyone can. I don't even have a college education. My kids turned out

great (at least I like to think so).

anyway, big hugs and prayers from me ((((((Jen)))))).

I would make sure that I talk to the attorney before the meeting. I'd also

be concerned about having my asd child in a classroom full of asd children.

I think that kids on the spectrum need to be around nt kids rather than

children who have the same issues that they do. I don't think that that

environment is healthy or realistic. She must learn and be expected to

function in the " real world " even if she needs special assistance. I can

tell you that this is the best thing from personal experience. My two

brothers and I are blind, and have been severely visually impaired since

early childhood. When it was time to go off to school, the district wanted

us in special ed classes. My parents fought them tooth and nail to have us

in a regular classroom and accommidated appropriately. We learned to

function even though our ways had to be a little different than anyone

elses. Granted, we weren't suffering from neurological disorders, but I'll

tell you that our aba therapist agrees with this 100%. She has told me that

she's seen first hand that these asd children often act how they feel

they're expected to act. Don't worry about the socialization if you pull

her out of school. There are plenty of home school co-ops for social

experiences. What state are you in? I can give you a little better

direction for contact info that way. You should definitely check out the

Home School Legal Defense Association web site. They have a wealth of info.

It wouldn't be required that you be a member, but many families are. The

biggest benefit of membership is that if you are ever given any trouble for

home schooling, they will defend you at no charge from initial problems all

the way to court if it went that far. Very few people who are members ever

have that happen. Usually, the party drops the issue as soon as they hear

from HSLDA. Anyway, I'll give you as much other info as I can. Definitely

be thinking and praying about it.
