I don't look down on people who do things different than I did 22 years ago, or call them tacky. We had fun on a somewhat stressful day, and still have fun and enjoy each others company and humor. We did not need to clean the floor, or get clothing cleaned, we just had to wipe our faces...

There is over 130 stores listed in the directory for that particular mall. http://www.chesterfield-mall.com/directory/ -90 of which seem likely that kids that age might be interested in. So now, already over-worked teachers are now expected to call 90 different stores to let them know that...

Chesterfield Mall posted "Code of Conduct". includes "Attendance of children (under age 18) during school hours unaccompanied by a parent, teacher or legal guardian (excluding school holidays and home schooled students). Unaccompanied children ages 16-17 may produce proof of reduced school hours...

It is an invasion of their privacy. I do not want countless people in an environment where I am not present and whom I don't know, being told that my daughter is developmentally disabled and non-verbal. It's also sharing part of her medical history that should not even be asked for at all...

Here is the local news story, with the schools principal giving an interview on camera. http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2014/11/08/special-needs-students-turned-away-from-bath--body-works/18700541/

Every time my daughter takes part in an outing like this, as I parent I am notified beforehand. We send money for her to be able to buy something if she chooses. Giving her the opportunity to do so is for her benefit. When groups of kids with special needs come into the fast food restaurant...

The principal who was interviewed in the second story said that 2 or 3 groups of students were turned away from entering B&BW. There were 17 students in all, and broken into smaller groups and supervised by their paras, according to the teacher's post on facebook. In both instances in Alabama...

Why? Do they have to tell the store that these are special needs kids? If a Mom is teacher her pre-schooler how to recognize numbers or letters and does so in a store at the mall, or someone who does homeschooling is using real life experiences to teach personal finance, do they need to notify...

It's not a traditional scavenger hunt, as discussed earlier in this very thread. It's teaching students how to locate certain items, comparison shop and behave like typical customers. It is a another tool for special needs kids to work towards becoming independent.

It's not one employee. It happened in Alabama last March and again in Missouri in November. The company has policies in place that obviously make employees feel like they need to bar some people from entering their stores. Sounds to me like it is their fault and they need to re-evaluate the...

Word. They also forget that children with special needs have families. Mothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, grandmothers.....each of whom also have friends. That is a very large pool of customers they are souring on their company because of actions like this.

This is not the first time an employee of this company had this kind of "miscommunication" with a group of special needs kids. Last March, in Alabama USA Today had an article that was eerily similar -...

I tend to think the best of others.... So, I am thinking that maybe this has actually happened to this server, just not on that day and by that party. If I recall correctly, it was reported the server also donated some of the extra money she was given because of this story to The Wounded...

People who do this kind of thing are typically very, very good at hiding it from others. Please do not assign any blame to the others members of his band until there is a reason to do so. I have never heard of this band either, but that doesn't mean they may not have thousands of fans...

Sounds like you had a marvelous time, other than the broken digit. Let me know next time you're going and I'll try to make it ;)

Going the 8th. DD will be Merida and I will be bear Queen Elinor

I like to mix Honey nut Chex with Planter's 5 Alarm Chili peanuts, for a fast hot and sweet snack mix. Fritos are also gluten free, as are many plain potato chips.

While there have been some wonderful and kind posts here, there have also been some so full of ignorance they makes my blood boil. So I will say, in regards to our daughter, who completely non-verbal and has cognitive delays due to autism and the OP...it's none of your business. Thanks for...

My daughter is 15 and loves Halloween. She doesn't speak, is completely non-verbal with cognitive delays due to her autism. I prompt her to sign "trick or candy" but sometimes when her bucket gets heavy or she's near the end of her outing, she doesn't do that. When we get home, I hand out...

Getting so close for my daughter and I.....
