services for my non-aspie daughter!

[Guest guest]

My daughter has sensory integration dysfunction and some coordination problems.

I had her evaluated at Easter Seals and then gave the evaluation to the guidance

counselor and Rayleigh's teacher. The guidance counselor gave it to a special

ed " facilitator " . The sped facilitator called me and said she'd be getting

together paperwork for a 504. It's more than I expected! I'm so glad I did

this, my poor daughter has as much in terms of sensory issues as her brother,

maybe MORE! Her social skills are good but her sensory issues, anxiety and OCD

are through the roof. So they're going to work with her to see if they can help

her learn to help herself. I'm not sure what that will look like yet, but I

have to say I'm quite happy about it. Next year Rayleigh will be going to

" intermediate school " which is 5th and 6th grade. It's a lot more kids and a

lot more pressure. She'll need breaks and sensory activities more than ever. I

don't believe she needs an IEP, just a little help to get her calm enough to

cope. Right now it's horrible to even get her to do homework because she comes

home so overloaded.

I love this school district.
