Hi everyone

I hope you all have had a good week.

Ok, confession. I know this was suppose to be a sad week, and it was..parts of it were really sad. But,I have had so much fun this week.

My cousins are the best to hang with!! My mom would keep the kids and Lee went home everynight, so I have been out with them almost every night this week. I played my first beer game ever (but I had a designated drinker) and we laughed all night. At one point we had all been up for 2 days straight

And Ed - I am on my way up to Boston in June. We are going to have a girls weekend with cousins. I talked to Lee and he was like, I dont care if you go as long as it will be your family!! LOL!! He has obvisously never been out with them

We decdied all 5 of us were going to Texas. Theyreally wanted my kids there. We bought the tickets so we are set there. Now Deena (finally) I can book the disney trip!!

Deena - YAY that you got Aim back.

deena, check out with the superintendent office on procedures and rules about this. we had the same problem with two of our sons at an early age due to problems. both boys were born deaf. the second son did not have any services until age 2 years and 11 months. in our community, a kid has to be under the age of 3 to get special services. we got in under the wire and he started a program with occupational therapy and speech therapy (after his surgery) in the spring/summer program.
the school did not want to help once he was 3 so Easter Seals picked him up as the child of the county we live in. easter seals will do a scholarship program for one student per county per semester. we did an application and the doctor did his paper work. with this help, he started school in kindergarten on time for a half a day. once he was in K, the school provided the speech and ot for the other half day three times a week.
for son #3, he started sign language at age 10 months. his surgery was at 18 months. from there he was in a school program at that point until he started regular kindergarten and went half day with speech therapy four times a week for the other half of a day.
many school districts have provisions to help the kid in order to get them ready for kindergarten. no one gave us the info, we had to seek it out and then demand it.
you should insist that he get to go half a day kindergarten with services being issued to him at the school for the other half a few days a week or have his services be given to him two times a week while he is in K for that time period.
federal laws will accomodate him. once a kid is in school, the services have to be provided as texas does get a substantial amount of the funding for special needs kids. contact school board members for assistance on this and don't back down.
give it a try. you have nothing to lose.

good luck, i will help you if i can. use the internet for laws pertaining to the needs you want met.

Mac they are willing to get him in the program and services he needs but only on their terms which is half day kindergarten and half day for the special preschool program. I only want the half day preschool program. I do not want Evan to go a full day. I think its just to much.
Im going to call my uncle tonight and talk to him. He is head of that prgram in his school district--which sadly is not hear. Also my cousin is an OT but she lives in Dallas.
I still have an ard meeting to attn so maybe I can get through to someone there.
What makes me mad about it is the school is doing it this way is its a decision based on how much money they can get from the state and not whats best for my child.

IT IS OPTIONAL DAY........YAY...... aka/thursday

DID you think I wouldnt come back on Nakkie day!! Its my favorite day of the week!!

 

[4greatboys]

Hey OCM! Glad to have you back!

 

[macraven]

deena, good luck and don't back down.
if what you want is only a half day program then go for it.

one way around it is to go ahead and put him in the full day program but only have him attend tues,wed and thur.....call him in absent for mon and fri

in our part of illinois and also in chicago and southern illinois, our kindergardens are full day programs. illinois went over to that 7 years ago.

it is under the concept that it fully prepares the kids for full academic days once they are in first grade.
