I just read your posting about the IEP me...HI Amy,<br /><br />I just read your posting about the IEP meeting for Elena's kindergarten. I am so happy to hear Elena continues to excel and that the school is going to accommodate her so well next year. That is amazing! I think you are very fortunate to have Elena in a school that obviously cares about it's students. Wonderful news! Also, I continue to be impressed by your perseverance and committment to Elena's progress and well being. You are a wonderful MOM!! <br /><br />RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556530923850418331.post-29144251452423806232010-05-14T22:19:58.470-07:002010-05-14T22:19:58.470-07:00I am so excited for Elena's success in school!...I am so excited for Elena's success in school! I really, really appreciate all the detail you give about navigation of the system. I didn't know yet that there was a difference between the IEP and 504 accomodations. I have a lot to learn! But really, thank you for all the details as it really helps us who are seeing thesethings in our future. I think Hannah will be smart and only somewhat slow in getting places, so I don't know what services we'll get. We mostly use Early Intervention now, and I pay out of pocket for extras because it seems this 0-3 stage is so significant, and I am lucky enough to have really close access to Shriner's for free, so we'll never go without therapy, but I worry about our school experience.GingerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976594257345428901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556530923850418331.post-25589621031500987132010-05-14T16:36:21.985-07:002010-05-14T16:36:21.985-07:00HI AMY
I FELT I HAD TO MAKE A COMMENT.. MOM WAS ...HI AMY <br />I FELT I HAD TO MAKE A COMMENT.. MOM WAS READING YOUR PSOT BECAUSE I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH SMA;; PRINT.. <br /><br />ELENA'S CHALLENGES/STRUGGLES SOUND VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD TO FACE... <br /><br />I WILL SAY I TOO WAS ON AN IEP (TALKING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL) I WAS GIVING EXTRA TIME FOR GETTING THINGS DOWN ON PAPER NOTES TESTS.. I WAS GIVEN TIME EXTRA TIME TO GET TO AND FROM CLASSES(I OFTEN KEFT THE CLASS EARLY SO I COULD TO GET THE NEXT ROOM WITHOUT BEING TRAMPLED ON.. <br /><br />OFTEN TIMES AT RECESS I HAD FRIENDS WHO WERE ABLE BODIED WHO HELPED ME ON THE PLAYGROUND<br /><br />I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY THERE ARE STILL THOSE INGORANT PEOPLE WHO PAY NO ATTENTION AND WOULD KNOCK ME DOWN..<br /><br />EVEN AS AN ADULT NOW I GET THAT.. I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE I WAS GOING ACROSS THE STREET IN MY WHEELCHAIR AND THIS GUY PULLS OUT WAAAAAY OVER THE WHITE LINE ON THE ROAD AND EXPECTED ME TO GO BEHIND HIM I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE LIGHT TO WAIT TO CROSS AGAIN! <br /><br />KIDS CAN BE CRUEL BUT I REALLY HOPE SHE HAS A POSITIVE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE BECAUSE WHEN I WENT IT WAS NOT AS POITIVE..<br /><br />EVEN NOW WHEN I WAS VOLUNTEERING I HAD A KID ASK ME IF I WAS RETARDED BECAUSE OF THE WAY I WALK... ITS NOT NICE AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON HOW TO TREAT KIDS AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITES<br /><br />MELISSAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556530923850418331.post-76038752813783144342010-05-14T09:26:41.128-07:002010-05-14T09:26:41.128-07:00WOW. To me, this all sounds so amazing! I am so ...WOW. To me, this all sounds so amazing! I am so pleased that this seems to be going so well for you.<br /> <br />And I truly LOVE hearing all that E can do on her own. I think my Ben is similar to E in severity so seeing what she can do gives me so much hope!Caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106769763459813759noreply@blogger.com
