Cheryl,One thing we did for was consult a college placement counselor. She was very helpful. You could hire her two ways -- one session at a time, which was what we did, or for the whole process. She'd oversee all the applications, the essays, the whole works. For us, she identified which colleges were likely bets for us, given 's needs.LizOn Jun 8, 2007, at 12:01 PM, cheryl12359 wrote:Liz,Thanks do much for your input. We live in New York - suburb of NYC. I am not sure if big or small is good for him - on the one hand he may get lost in a big school, on the other hand there is more opportunity to find like-minded kids. I think it would be btter for everyone if he does not live at home, yet I think he needs to be driving distance away. Ishould also add that he excels in math and science and did wonderfully on his SATs, although his grades do not reflect that at all. As far as support he has trouble accepting help of any kind from anyone, which is a big problem. So even if the school offers support I'm not sure he'll avail himself of it. Any more suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. Cheryl

Once a student graduates high school the IEP ceases to exist. Now districts are required to complete a "Summary of Performance" on any student exiting the system. It gives an overview of the child's programming and any modications/accommodations that helped in the past, but is NOT an IEP. A student will need to advocate for themselves at the college level. Most colleges have an Disability Office which can provide guidance to college students with disabilties. Younger children should have "self advocacy" goals on their IEP so they can begin these skills at an early age. Pam :)See what's free at AOL.com.

WOW, He sounds like our son. Our Stan is very bright also, grades are ok, but could be better, but he also has add, and school is boring to him, he hates it. Does your child have an IEP? and has he been re-evaluated lately. That needs to be done in order for it to carry over to college. You can help with the part of going to the college with him and bring his IEP. This way in college he will still get much of the same benefits he received in high school. But after he enters the college, it will only be up to him to exerecise his rights to get the benefits he needs. And because he will be an adult then, he can terminate his rights at any time. Does not need your permission. (So in our case, I will probably leave out that little bit of information from my son, lol). Hope this was of any help to you.

--Hi,

I am the one pursuing the spec. ed. degree and have been interviewing many of

you. I noticed that you mentioned that after high school the kids are on their

own. According to what I have been taught in my educ. classes, the IEP is

supposed to go until the child reaches 21 and transition services are to be

provided under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). This is

what I believe that the colleges are teaching. You may want to check to see if

I am correct, (because I am still learning). But I would definitely check

through this act to assure that you or whoever needs it are legally getting all

services due to them.

I hope this is helpful and correct.

They can get services until age 21 in the public

schools (like in their high school). The IEP does not

apply in college.

if they went to private school, the private schools do not have to have IEP's in place, only service plans. Students who attend public school and have IEP's are eligible to stay in school until age 21 if that is what the team decides. Pam :)See what's free at AOL.com.

Pretty much most of the accommodations your student had in high school s/he can have in college -- extended time on tests, use of a computer on exams, note taker, etc. Before granting accommodations for ds 19, his college wanted to see his  high school IEP.LizOn Jun 11, 2007, at 11:05 AM, cheryl12359 wrote:What sorts of accomodations are available in college for As kids?

==>, the tingling is created by nerves and it is a sign they are

trying to wake up. Cold feet are because candida toxins make all of

the body's cells go rigid/stiff which makes it difficult for blood

cells to fold like they should to get into the small capilliaries in

the feet.

==>Because most candida toxins are mostly alcohol you can expect some

lightheadedness, dizzyness, and sleepiness. A sore throat is caused by

extra mucus the body forms in order to get rid of toxins. As you

continue killing off candida the toxins will create many symptoms and

problems. It means you are progressing as you should. It is not a

steady uphill climb towards total health. There are many ups and

downs. As the body gets stronger it will also dig into areas to heal

them as well which create many healing symptoms. Eventually your good

days will increase and your bad ones decrease. Just know you are doing

the right things to help your body heal.

Thanks for this Bee. So this is just a normal stage of healing to go

and have only one more day of it twoce a day. When I go to once a

day, do I change my supplements? Also, I forgot, am I suppose to be

taking calcilim?

Bee, It is the Baking Soda Treatment and I have done 15 days, once

before breakfast & once before sleep. I have found much stomach

relief from doing this treatment well as a feeling of overall

progress. I am doing retracing and having die off that is expected.

I take Choline, extra Mag. and Extra C for this as needed. I am not

taking any chlorophyll or having sea salt. I am taking ConcenTrace

Ionic Liquid Minerals each day. I am taking the Vit C capsules

instead of the Electro C and was mistaken, I have added Calcium. (I

had taken it out per your advice while taking the Electro C.)

Could you please be so kind as to see if if my other supplements

look right.

Supplements I am taking now:

Calcium/Magnesuim 320mg x2 a day

Cod Liver Oil 1 tsp a day (Blue Ice)

Vit A 10,000IU a day

Vit C 1000mg 5x a day

Vit B 50mg 2x a day

Vit E 400 a day

Niacin 50 2x day

Trace Minerals 10-15 drops

3 Tbl coconut oil

3-8 Tbl butter

Live Rejuvenac with meals and if stomach upset

Pau d Arco in tea or as tinature

Now I am starting once a day tomorrow and hope I continue to have

improvements. Would you have me change any supplements?

fact now I¹m getting to the stage where I start with sugar from about

3pm every afternoon. I¹ve only been on it (if you could call it

that) now for about 4 days.

==>Hi Anthea. Welcome to our group. You made a good start my friend

so keep at it.

> I have a history of restrictive diets and then bingeing, and this

diet is much stricter than most. I think it¹s flipping me out a

bit. Also I have two small children now and just can¹t seem to

devote the 100% attention the diet requires. I remember being

completely obsessed by it 10 years ago ­but I could be focussed

because I didn¹t have all this extra responsibility. Can anyone offer

any advice?

==>The reason this program is more successful than others is because

of the high good saturated fats like butter, coconut oil, lard, etc.

Candida sufferers must have low carbs because carbs feed candida so

the fats provide a great alternative energy source making it easier

to stay on the diet. Your children will also benefit a great deal by

providing them with proper nutrients, eliminating sugars, high carbs,

bad oils and fats, and by ensuring they get enough good fats,

protein, etc.

==>Making changes one step at time can also give you more success as

you chalk up your wins. See the article " Curing Candida, How to Get

Started " in our Group's Files (left menu) in the 2nd Folder. Also

see the article " Food Cravings, How to Control Them " and other

articles in the " Candida Symptoms, Help For " Folder.

==>It becomes easier as you continue working on your diet, and your

taste buds do change. If you stay off of sugars and grains for 5

days Dr. Mercola says you should curb your sweet cravings. You will

experience withdrawal symptoms too, but extra vitamin C and plenty of

good fats will help.

==>You can't go wrong giving your body the nutrients it requires, and

by eliminating toxins in foods, drinks and your environment, so your

body can heal itself the way nature intended.

Hi Anthea,

I have the same history of restrictive diets and bingeing. What I did

was to make the changes VERY slowly, over months (and in fact I'm still

not there 100% yet). I found that even though I wanted to get really

quickly onto Bee's program, my body wanted to go slowly and not be

pushed.

Some weeks I would just add one thing per week, like a supplement, or a

small dietary change. Plus I'd already spent a year before this

(before finding Bee's program) getting sugar out of my life.

I don't think I would have liked hearing this when I started, that it

would take me so long. However in retrospect, it's really worked for

my body, and even without doing the program 100% yet, my health and

mood seems to be significantly improving.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Deb,

It¹s reassuring to know that I can take it slowly and still make progress.

That¹s the perfectionist me for you ­ wanting to be able to do it to a tee

==>You are very welcome Anthea. It won't keep coming back if you

maintain your immune system with proper nutrients all of the time.

Three years ago I had candida the 2nd time after being cured for 18

years. I was going through a very stressful time working weekends and

overtime continually for months. When I'm stressed I lose my appetite,

so at that time I foolishly neglected my diet. It took me awhile to

realize what was happening. Once I did, it didn't take as long the 2nd

time to turn it around. That taught me a very good lesson.

==>Now when I'm most stressed I rely on Bee's Raw Egg Drink to provide

enough nutrients, even having it 3 times a day if necessary, along with

supplements. It is so easy to make and easy to digest.

Read, talk, learn, and pick one goal, maybe two at a time, and start there. Have your child assessed for sensory stuff (which I am sure you got a referral for, most do give that when you are diagnosed). And, start the therapy processes, etc. You just do all you can to help your child, and in school you ask for services (IEP) to meet the needs based on the difficulties (like Liz asked).....etc. And, then, we will be here to help you from there...and through it all. This is such a valuable group. Just KNOWING and finally having an answer, for us, was such a relief!!! We were just glad to know so we could start helping it, as nothing was working for us (that you use on 'normal' kids, so we were relieved to learn techniques that work for our children).....that was sooooo great.
