Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 So, I'm just wondering if sometime someone could posta copy of these Papers of which you speak? The Paper of Restriction and '504'. We don't have these things in place in Australia, but I'm working on it. LOL BTW- Bayly's OT recommended that he use textas instead of pencils for school, because he doesn't have to press as hard to colour-in. That works well, when it works...last year in Early Starters he had a relief teacher who has written in his book, scolding him for not using pencils! Good idea for ALL teachers to be aware of the child's needs, at all times, right?! He's going into Kindergaretn this year. Our kids are all on summer holidays at the moment.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 A little info on Section 504 of the rehabilitation act: http://www.schwablearning.org/articles.aspx?r=777 I would assume a paper might be a prescription or note written by the doctor or physical therapist to officialy declare that the child needs restrictive PE. In my case, I had doctors notes for awhile, than eventualy it was permanently added to my IEP (Individualized Educational Plan). Basicaly all of these things had to come into play because of discrimination against people with disabilities. First. most were denied education, institutionalized and such.. than as more rights were fought for, these laws came into play to get kids with special needs 'mainstreamed' in with kids without special needs but still allow them to have the accomodations they need to put them on equal ground with all other kids. Complicated.. yes... lol... A little about IEP's : http://www.schwablearning.org/articles.aspx?r=73 Someone can have section 504 or an IEP used for their child but most kids with JRA only are not really elgible for a IEP or do not need that sort of intensive plan. 504 is better for kids who need some accomodation though maybe not as extensive as what an IEP may cover. IEP's mostly cover kids with learning, mental disabilities or who have both physical and mental impairments. You can get covered under OHI as I was which means Other Health Impaired. The reason I ended up with an IEP is because my needs were not met early on in school and I ended up being left behind although that wasn't very obvious. It was something we didn't find out for a long time. Long story but in the end, the IEP ended up being what I needed due to the unusual circumstances in my case. Anyways, hope these links and tidbits of info help you understand a little more about the craziness about special education in the US.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Jo, I find it disturbing that there are no laws in place protecting the children for 504 and IEP's and the schools - it certainly makes it easier on the parent and the child by affording specific rights. I know Issadora gave you a website. Another website (searchable) I have found quite helpful is: www.wrightslaw.com Another resource is a previous edition of Kgat: http://www.arthritis.org/media/JA/FTP/KGAT/2003/KGAT_JanFeb03.pdf The have an article on 504 aimed at kids with arthritis. Hope this helps. I just don't get it when teachers aren't helpful...these kids have enough they have to overcome. I guess you will have to be a pioneer here. BTW - what are textas? Hope things get worked out for Bayley's kindergarten as this is such an important and (should be) fun time for little ones.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 my son has letters form his dr. stating what he has and that he is to be dismissed from school up to three days at a time depending on how sever the episode is. if it gets to bad for you. check into a 504 for your child this will protect the child from your 10 day limit on missing school and school work. this form is very hard to get in the upper grades so if you need one it best to start soon as possible, these kids are considered cronicly ill children even though they are in great health between episodes. it hard for people to understand an invisible illness. and the schools often like to pretend there is no such form but it is real. even if you have to go to the school board and get the form. if our kids had migraines the form is easy to get because everyone knows what a migraine is. so good luck protect protect protect your childs furture. ************** It's Tax Time!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 My son also started preschool last august. He has missed at least 3 to 4 days a month since then. I too was scared of the 10 day rule, and immediately went to the doctor and got a note from her stating what he has, that it is upredictable, and will fever WHENEVER, and can last HOWEVER long. It also stated that there was nothing contaigous and he COULD attend, if he felt up to it. This was good enough for the PRESCHOOL. We will see what kindergarten brings this July when we start! We are scheduled for a T & A on April 4th, so PRAYERS from everyone that he stays healthy for that and that it STOPS THESE DREADED FEVERS! , best of luck!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 We also recently got a 504 for our daughter to protect her from the absences. Our process went quite smoothly. It also helped to have a diagnosis from our doctor and information ready for the school. As I am sure you will most likely discover, they will not have heard of and will need information about it. I hope your school is as good as ours has been with us through this whole process. There is also a document in the file section that we used to help create our 504. It gave us a great place to start.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The great thing about our school is that it is small and there is another little girl there that has HIDS so they are aware of what Charish is going though. They know about fever syndromes so I am not worried about that. What gets me is that there is this little girl that has this and then my daughter comes in just a year later with fevers and they treat her like she is going to make everyone sick and they know already that she wont. They got a note from the doctor Tuesday saying she can come back to school and as long as she feels like it she can stay that she is not contagious. I gave them this note and then one of the teachers tell me that she doesnt think that the note will work. I was so mad. They had this other little girl in the same class last year and knew what she went though. I dont see how people can treat kids that are so sick so badly. She gets to school and crys to stay and they send her home. Once she got to go back yesterday she cryed becasue she didnt think that they wanted her there. My heart just broke she is in Pre-K and they should not treat her this way. I so hope next year is better. My then we should have a confermed diagnois. She is scheduled to go to Vanderbilt sometime this month they havent called me with the date yet. I am so hoping that it is when school is out for spring break. I hope all goes well. I am not sure what to expect and that scares me the most with her going again to Vandi. She goes once a year now for heart test and I know what she will go though then. Please keep us in your prayers. Becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 One dose of Prednisone would be enough to get my son back on track. So, next year when she gets the fever and you can get an appt to verify that her ears are clear and there's nothing else going on, then one to two doses should be enough. Also, I have the same concerns for my son. We've had him on Cimetidine since last April and his fevers are now non-existant. He still had the episodes w/o the high fever for a while but now he hasn't had an episode since November. I am not sure how long he'll have to take it but I am thrilled with the results. We see a Rheumatologist and he monitors the progress. Hang in there, in Ruckersville Va Jerrett age 3 and has been fevering since 12wks old. Jenna age 6 and Jensen age 2 are fine.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Boring, boring, boring.. don't you think? First,,, what do they want Nick to get out of these assignments? Is it writing practice, learning through repetition, or busy work? Or what? I think what I would do is figure out a different way for him to do all that work.. like making flash cards to practice... or fun worksheets or word searches or... whatever.. something more interesting than copying the notes. Perhaps making headlines and a few facts that go with them and have him match them.. using a model or not, whatever his ability is. What do YOU.. as his mother feel? Is it beneficial for him to do this? Could it be made more interesting? Or cut down? Or is it just a power struggle with him? I have a tendency to redo homework a lot and they realize that I know his level and ability and interests and usually follow my lead. It hasn't always been that way, but we've gotten there through trial and error. I think the big thing was that I let them know that we weren't trying to get him OUT of doing work, just trying to make it more meaningful and fun for all. I hope this helps.. perhaps it's not even what you were looking for, but it's what came to mind when I read your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I agree, it sounds very boring and copying notes seem pointless to him. What is the point of him taking the notes, to understand the subject matter better? I would make it more interesting- could he put the notes in simple picture form? Such as cartoon boxes. Then he could retell the notes using pictures instead of rewriting the words. Could he use graphic organizers instead of writing the notes? Such as a venn diagram, pro/con list, a web, etc. He shouldn't be sitting there for hours doing homework. You might also have to dangle the carrot, what is important to him that he would get to do if he does his work at school or is cooperative at home. I would also encourage the teacher to reward him some how. Such as- completes his work for the week in class, he gets 15 minutes of computer time on Fridays. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm wondering if anyone out there has a checklist or interview questions that they use when working with their child's school to select an aide that they would be willing to share. Also, could parents share their child's level of disability or type of in-school assistance they need in correlation to how much time and what type of training you do with aides? Also, how much does your child participate in the training. Any other tips from students and parents for good outcomes with aides? Thank you, Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I was put through the every other kid treatment until it nearly killed me half home schooling can be a happy medium. Matty Stepanik went to public school three days a week and thrived. It can be the best of both worlds but it all depends on each individual Another friend who's daughter has brittles bones disorder [severe forms have respiratory issues as bad as SMA] had to throw in the towel and completely home school after the school kept ignoring the kid getting assaulted on the playground, had a broken bone ignored by the nurse, was refused a service dog and had an assistant who was keeping her child from inteacting socially with her peers. It's a child by situation by child decision. > > > > I know I don't post often and I apologize for that. I do read the posts and say prayers for those that need it and rejoice with the milestones and good news. > >  > > So I am posting now in regards to Aschdon going back to school next year. My husband and I have been homeschooling him for this school year and it has been going great. I wouldn't say he is caught back up from the lack of care he had in school last year but he has made great strides. (for those of you that don't know, Aschdon had a horrible year last year. We found out too late that his one on one aid was doing his school work for him, so instead of teaching him like she was suppose when he was home bound she would do the work and turn it in. Aschdon ended up being at a 3.5 grade level at the end of 4th due to this.) > >  This being said, he is so lonely. His friends are in so many activities and such that he doesn't get to spend any time with them. I know education is important but I feel for his emotional well being his friends are just as important. We love having him home but we want to be able to help him grow apart from us as well. Learn to rely and trust others again (last year ruined alot of that, he has a very difficult time with others caring for him now). I want him to experience dances, and the other classes the school has them do that we don't do at home. > >  > > So I guess what I am asking, for those of you that send your kids to school, I need ideas on how to get the proper kind of one on one help for my son. I need some one that can care for his hygienically, nutrition, education, and be an advocate for my son. I am going to be writing a letter to the principle, the special education teacher and the nurse. Plus I would like to be able to have a letter to give to the teachers and the students to take home (even though it is a small community and alot of people know Aschdon I feel parents need to be educated because alot of them are afraid to have their kids come over to our house and Aschdon is never able to go to theirs). Aschdon is going to be going into the 6th grade. That is what we are going to register him as. We have the understanding that he will probably be pulled out for math and English classes but there is no reason he cant do all of the other classes with his classmates that he has gone to school > > with since preschool. > > I appreciate any kind of feed back, shared letters, ideas that are offered. > > Kenya > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Work with the school to interview the aide?! What a quaint notion! Our school solicits no input from us as parents. The principal doesn't know who 's aide will be until the week before school starts each year. The Special Education Office tells us they have no control over the process and cannot give us any guidance or take our input into consideration. Labor Union rules entirely dictate the process. Every year, a list of assignments (kids in need of aides) is provided to the Union that represents non-teaching staff. They offer them to a pool of their members who are allowed to pick the most desirable jobs based upon seniority. If your kid is perceived as an easy " assignment, " you will probably get the most experienced and capable one-on-one aide that the school can offer. If your kid is difficult (like autistic or emotionally disabled), you will get the least capable aide who is new to the job. Most of our aides are 40-something stay-at-home moms who are coming back to work because their own kids are now older. There is no training provided to them by the school or the Union. Many of the aides show up for work the first day and have no idea what they will need to do for their assigned child. I have been told that is considered a somewhat easy assignment because she is fairly independent. She does not need a nurse aide (no trach or anything). It's basically taking her to the bathroom and carrying and opening her books. But, her aide must be able to do some heavy lifting, so is not a 100% easy job. Last year, the aide who picked was a 62-year old 5-foot woman with arthritis. From the beginning, it was obvious that she was not capable of doing some of the required tasks. She did not even have the strength to operate the Hoyer lift. We spoke with the Special Education Office who said they could do nothing because this aide had the most seniority in the Union and she could pick whichever job she wanted regardless of her ability to perform the expected duties. We had several meetings with the Principal, but after many promises were made the Principal finally said she had no control over the selection of aides. We sent a letter to the school board, and received a nice phone call one evening from the school board President. He basically told us that the board had no power to alter the Union contracts that had been negotiated, and the contract stipulated that these decisions are made based upon seniority. Fortunately for us, the old aide decided to retire in November. Of course, no one told us of this change. just showed up at school one day and suddenly had a new aide. I'm sure someone must have known that the old aide was retiring ahead of time, but it didn't occur to anyone to tell the parents or the child. The new aide can at least do the job so we have no big complaints right now. We've learned to expect the unexpected and fortunately has kept a very good attitude. She has learned how to survive in a big bureaucracy with no accountability. > > I'm wondering if anyone out there has a checklist or interview questions that they use when working with their child's school to select an aide that they would be willing to share. > > Also, could parents share their child's level of disability or type of in-school assistance they need in correlation to how much time and what type of training you do with aides?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 So she's depressing him by laying out how much support he had to have. SIGH! Do you feel comfortable talking to her? Or not mind irritating her? You could meet with her and point out how she doesn't need to add comments like that. Unless for some reason she'd doing it as a paper trail for herself, his records.... But why do that? Had he been absent lately or does he take his workload slower than the rest of the class, relating to that comment about attending on Dec. 22? I know I got irritated because my son has a dysgraphia diagnosis and didn't need the " write neater " comments he occasionally got from some teachers. He was writing as neat as he could!
