• Message To My Attacker

  
  Pissed Off — Authority: 527
  Im a button pusher. My whole life Ive pushed the buttons of family members, colleagues, friends, enemies and even my cats. I cant help it. I love finding the little things that irritate (like the here link I often use) and then do whatever it takes (as long as it is harmless) to get them going. That is one of the ...

  EmpoweringParents.com — Authority: 119
  As a parent of a special needs child, one often does not know where to begin. It all can depend on how old the child is when he or she is diagnosed. If a child is age 3 or older, one of the first things a parent should do is to request his or her child to have an individualized education plan (IEP) . Even if a ...

• What is Normal? Who is Normal?

  
  Mid-CenturyModernMoms — Authority: 121
  "But you seem so normal!" It was a phrase in a post from Deafmom, a post she titled "Youre not really deaf, are you?" This one got me thinking - a dangerous pastime, I know. Normal = neuro-typical, non disabled. Normal = typical, following the norm. Normal = expected, unsurprising. Normal = just another sheep ...

  Ask MetaFilter — Authority: 648
  What can help for a quirky kid struggling with the school environment? A friend of mine has a son who is 9, a 4th grader. N. is smart, a strong reader, and an all-around nice kid; he gets along well with others and makes friends, and his teachers like him. At school, he seems to be doing fine--his teachers dont see ...

Im still pissed about that in ways I cannot adequately express. At this ...

  Mid-CenturyModernMoms — Authority: 121
  Happy Birthday to Abe (for Sunday). He is 19!!! Abe went to college open house last weekend. And he also got a huge scare. BSC only houses around 50% of its students, the rest mostly being commuters with a few living just off-campus. But Abe wouldnt go here unless he got housing. But it was stated at the open house ...

• Got Some IEPs

  
  Pissed Off — Authority: 527
  So now we have been given IEPs on a CD. I guess the people in charge dont think we are smart enough to open up the ones that were e-mailed to us. (I dont know why they think we will be smart enought open the ones on a CD.) These came with instructions about confidentiality, the e-mailed ones had this instruction ...

  Toast on the Ceiling — Authority: 112
  So I mentioned the whole IEP thing before. I forget sometimes that not everyone lives with the lovely rules that Illinois has. First off. the Catholic school my daughter attends and the one I want my son to go to is NOT in the same district as we live. Even if, there are rules. Rules I still DONT understand. If ...

  Pissed Off — Authority: 527
  Im not sure if this blog had anything to do with it, but, the ISS supervisor just sent out an e-mail explaining IEPs, especially the confidentiality portion which was missing with the IEPs. It feels good to know that my bitching may actually be helping our students. BTW, the boy I was confused about here still has ...

  Smiles & Trials — Authority: 128
  I just love these two little guys. I could eat them both up--- literally I get caught gobbling up their ears and neck and underarms! I look at both of these boys and think what miracle children they are. When they both first came home, riding on these little push cars seemed like a distant dream-- and now they both ...

  Pissed Off — Authority: 527
  I took the advice of some of the commenters and questioned the ISS supervisor about IEPS, particularly my concerns about not being given needed information and being given incorrect information. And she said, "Were working on it." We have over 300 IEPs. It takes time." Can I tell the admins I have over 130 students ...

  I Have Things... — Authority: 118
  Ive put off writing about the three-hour meeting we had last week with a special education advocate. For one thing, note that number. Three. Hours. Plus. For another, it was a devastating meeting. Not in the literal sense. Nothing was physically destroyed. But there was definitely emotional rubble afterward. There is ...
