Re: Re: PPCD - Preschool for Children with Disabilities...

Oh boy...what an experience...are you going to put your kid in a different

preschool program? I wonder what it will be like in another 3 years when I

finish my special ed degree. What you say is so true. I know the teachers

have a lot of kids and I know that much of the work in the preschool program

is left up to the associates who are not required to have any special

needs training in my district. The day care and preschool business in the

centers is just as bad with 12 preschoolers to 1 associate in private centers.

I

have an in home daycare and can only have up to 7 kids. 7 is plenty. I am

hoping to move someplace in the country where we can have horses when I am

through with school. I live in Iowa and have a 8 year old with autism and

apraxia. He still gets speech therapy and has a haulting tone to his voice

sometimes but he has come along way. We also have a lot of food issues and

he has juvenile diabetes type 1. Kids with autism are 40 times more likely

to get juvenile diabetes. I think he has an issue with the mitochondria. I

have done a lot of research on studies done with the Joslin Center for

diabetes and feel it is all related. Anyway...sorry to hear about your poor

experience with the school. Charlotte Henry
