Finally !!

[Guest guest]

after everyones kind messages and information, i did some searching. i found

that Connecticut " finally " started something to advocate for people that cant

afford one.

I was put in touch with someone that is meeting with my wife and i about my

daughter on Jan.4th and we have a PPT scheduled for Jan.7th.

my daughter hasnt been getting " anything " that was part of her PPT at all. they

are supposed to have a para for her at all times (it seems the para in her

school takes care of 4 classes), she is supposed to be given extra time to do

assignments (we get notes from her teacher saying " she didnt use her time during

the assignment wisely, so we had her do it while the other kids took recess " )

which we found out through our advocate is " AGAINST THE LAW TO KEEP ANY KID FROM

RECcESS " .

her ppt said from her psychologist that she is supposed to be given " praise,

praise, praise " (it is worded exactly like that) so it reinforces her

self-confidence level, but we get notes from her teacher stating " i had to get

very stern with her today because i told her to stop fiddling with her pencils

several times and she wouldnt " . my wife and i have asked the teacher if she

worded it correctly (because of my daughters complete act of being literal, you

cant just say " stop doing that " , because she will continues to do what ever it

is she is doing and fixated on. you have to say " stop doing that because you are

distracting the class anf that isnt nice " ,. then she stops immediately).

the teacher said to us " i shouldnt have to explain it to her. if i tell her to

stop, she should just stop ! "

and lately (this is the best one), if she gets upset she tries to escape the

class.

we get notes from the teacher " if rebekah gets upset, she just gets up and walks

out of class, which creates a dangerous situation for both her and the class,

because I (the teacher) have to go get her, leaving the class unattended to " .

all of these rediculous notes and arguments come form a teacher that

" supposedly " WAS a special education teacher.

I cant wait for our PPT.

our advocate said, not only is she " not " getting what she is supposed to get

according to her PPT , but the school is breaking the law in several areas (one

being the fact that the " state " pays for her to have a para with her " all " of

the time, and the school is using the papra for several different students. and

for those of you that arent familiar with legal terms, is called

" missapropriation of state funds! " .)

the advocate said " it sounds like this year they forgot how to deal with your

daughter. dont they know when a child on the autism scale will try to get away

if they are confronted with a situation they cant handle? " . thats why she is

supposed to have a para.

when my wife and i ask my daughter why she would just get up and walk out of

class, she responds " the teacher always yells at me " .

our advocate also said that we were not to tell the school that she will be with

us.

she said there is going to be some serious piles of poop left on some of those

chairs when she lets them know who she is, and the fact that since she works

directly for the state department of education, she will be reporting about the

failures on the towns department of education directly to the state.

so thanks again for everyones fantastic advice.

all i can say is, ITS ABOUT TIME !!!!!!!!!
