Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi, My daughter has severe global apraxia and sensory processing disorder. (She has severe fine motor delays, motor planning and hypo-vestibular responsiveness which impedes her ability to attend and focus)  She is 7 years old and has attended kindergarten twice and has only acquired 75% of the kindergarten curriculum.  The school district says that this is significant progress.  I (and my lawyer says it is not)  She has an average IQ if she continues at this rate she will have to repeat every year 2 times. We requested that the school district be trained and teach her using a method approved by the International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council that is appropriate for a child with Apraxia.  We suggested the Association Method.  They came back and said they would use the Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing method.  I don't know much about it but what I have read, It leads me to believe that the DTTC method will definitely help with her speech where as the Association method is a  multi-sensory approach which will address some of her sensory processing disorder issues.  Am I on the right track???  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to learn about these or any other multisensory methods that will address all of My daughters issues???  I have a due process hearing on August 22nd so I want to learn as much as I can about methods used for Apraxia. I would appreciate any help at all!!!  Thanks. You can email me directly if it is easier.  Thanks J Lynch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Parents have this duty (Education Act 1996). 7 Duty of parents to secure education of children of compulsory school age The parent of every child of compulsory school age shall cause him to receive efficient full-time education suitable— (a) to his age, ability and aptitude, and ( to any special educational needs he may have, either by regular attendance at school or otherwise. And this might help re SEN obligations http://scotens.org/sen/legislation/educationact.html Sue > > Can someone tell me where it says our children are entitled to an adequate education and is this the same for non SEN kids. > Alway being told the law states adequate but don't know where it actually says that. > TIA > Vicky > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks June that's really helpful. Couldn't find it in the code of practice when I looked so thought it must be written in legislation somewhere Confused though, why adequate? Doesn't sound very optimistic does it, would have expected every child to be entitled to a good education. Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi Vicky, If you begin by defining 'adequate', see SEN Code of Practice 4.14, then you can show whether progress is adequate or not, at that particular placement, the basis of many tribunals! Mainstream school have SATS results to determine if a school is performing and show 'adequate' teaching. Special schools have P-scales but don't seem to be penalised if not up to mark as there is no standard measure of performance. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yes, again due to their beliefs about our kids (why bother, etc etc). When the kids don't achieve, its always the kids and their autism that is at fault. what adequate really means, however, is interesting. I can 'adequately' clean my house. But I am a bit of a clean freak. Someone else might think using the same cloth to clean the windows and the toilet is adequate. What standard are they starting out from, to determine what 'adequate' means. same thing for the use of the word 'reasonable' what does it all mean? > > Hi Vicky, > > > > If you begin by defining 'adequate', see SEN Code of Practice 4.14, then you > can show whether progress is adequate or not, at that particular placement, > the basis of many tribunals! > > > > Mainstream school have SATS results to determine if a school is performing > and show 'adequate' teaching.
