[blparent] communicating with school

[Dianna]

She is right though weather you like it or not.  You are supposed to
communicate with his teacher.  She is there to provide speech therapy not to
provide homework accommodation.  Everything is so separate these days.  I
remember when a whole school system work together to get a student what they
need at least sometimes.  Now everyone has a job and that is the only job
they can do supposedly.  Unless you get lucky and get someone who helps
anyway it is about passing the buck and letting someone else deal with it.
Good luck.  If you can get his teacher to at least send homework directions
by email and depending on the grade most homework will scan enough to know
what to do anyway, but make sure you scan it before it is written on.

Subject: [blparent] cummunicating with school

I am thinking of sending a note in braille to my son's school speech
therapist. If I had an actual braille writer instead of slate, I would
absolutely do this. I will finally get to actually meet her at the IEP
meeting next week, so will be giving her the benefit of the doubt until
then. I am biased against her already though because instead of responding
to my request that she call, email, or text me about my son's homework she
just told the classroom teacher it was not available in an electronic format
and expected the classroom teacher to communicate with me. I know how big
the case loads are for school speech paths, but that is not my problem. My
son's needs are my priority. Hmm, perhaps she is already unhappy with me
though as I demanded make up time for the sessions she did not have for the
first two weeks of school because she was busy with other things?  

 

On the ups side the classroom teacher this year is fabulous! I could not of
custom ordered a better teacher for my son. She actually really knows and
uses sign language and has co taught for several years with a deaf ed
specialist at her last school.
