You have to demand they be held after school instead of before. You need to have an advocate with you as well. One thing I did insist on was that the public school staff (any teacher/aid that came in contact with Evan) have some type of autism training...a lady came in from our CESA office and did a small workshop for one school he attended. I am furious that this PUBLIC school is treating you and Noah this way. I am hopeful that your Social Worker will have some answers for you.<BR/><BR/>As for the D, is Noah seeing a Speech Therapist for the pragmatics of language? His teacher needs to understand kids like Noah have a very hard time with that concept and maybe the lessons need to be modified for him too. (once again put in the IEP)<BR/><BR/>I will keep praying.Oshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797045846322293828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-46609560923215830852008-10-20T22:28:00.000-04:002008-10-20T22:28:00.000-04:00My eyes are rolling....I just want to shake them a...My eyes are rolling....I just want to shake them all! Those squeezy stress balls are made for company executives in high rise offices...they are real fidgets for real people....and they work!<BR/>I'm always amazed at the things that come out of the mouths of the "professionals". You would think that they would want to use whatever helped you cope in class....it makes their lives easier, too! Why don't they get that..the OT especially?
