When Ian was learning to talk, I wondered if I should allow him to watch so many videos. He loved them -- all the Sesame Street tapes, and Barney, and the Tank Engine when he was a little older -- but everyone had always said that you shouldn't allow your children to watch too much television. But I noticed that the more he watched, the better his vocabulary became. The repetition was so helpful -- he didn't watch television, just tapes, sometimes over and over and over again in a day. So he drummed those words -- songs, and dances too -- into his brain, and it truly did improve his language ability.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 Irma, Thanks. I think that any person wheather adult or child- learns something from watching tv, or from a movie. I mean unless they watch it 24/7 which isn't good. > > has a very good point here. When Ian was > learning to talk, I > wondered if I should allow him to watch so many > videos.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I know it's not for everyone but we homeschool. The stress of school was just too much for my son. The way I like to think about it is this, your Doctor and your children's specialists were required to get the highest test scores to be who they are - teachers in many countries only need the most basic of pass marks to enter teacher's college... --- Jackie Geipel <jackie@...> wrote: > > Heavy, heavy sigh.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 That is just so sad yet so typical of the way things are! I took my AS son (3rd grade) out of public school because I knew he would never get the help he needed even though his case is so mild our psychologist wouldn't give a definite AS diagnosis. He seemed to fit in with others so he was a teacher's dream because he was so quiet and shy. So he got ignored bascially. All the IEP did was insure that he got promoted whether he was learning or not. He was one the of kids that was " falling through the cracks " . Luckily, we found a small private school (6 kids max. per class) that is designed for children with average or above IQ's but that have a specific LD and he is doing GREAT! It's such a warm loving environment and best of all he is doing so much better with his reading. I can't speak for public schools everywhere but I know there is a problem with MANY school systems for kids like ours. It breaks my heart to hear stories like that one. --- Mark son <thejacobsons@...> wrote: > I just have to write and have a little vent.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Beck, Try to have perspective because there is no way you are going to send your child into a situation like that and leave him hanging. Either his parents do not know how to advocate for him or they think everything is fine and the school is doing the best they can. Either way, they are very wrong! And without them getting involved, things will probably keep going that way. It is terrible. I can imagine how you feel watching it as well. I have seen kids struggling and wanted to change the situation but it's not my " business " to do so. Instead, I try to educate parents about sped law in this area as much as possible and in that way, I can help. My kids have all been in the reg. ed environment for part or all of their day. But I do make sure the supports are in place for him. I check in. I ask questions. If they don't know what kind of autism he has, they only have to read the little paper I give them everytime I go in to meet with them. And then I tell them a lot as well. Parents have to be involved, show up and advocate, no doubt about that! And you can effect change in your own school by doing that and by trying to meet other parents and share helpful books, articles or websites with them.
