I actually call the service and parents to set this up. I also call the doctors to set up the time that the parent agreed to and find out about the medical coupons and who accepts them--most are on medicaid--so when you talk with a doctor you need to make sure they accept medical coupons. You will have some parents that will not make an effort at all on this and if you need it done, this is the way to do it. This will be an on going issue in your years to come as a teacher</span></div><div> </div><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Brush Script MT';COLOR:black;FONT-SIZE:18pt;"><font color="#4040ff"> Denise </font></span></div><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Brush

</div>
<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;" class="yiv1361738598MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial;FONT-SIZE:10pt;">I am blind myself and am a certified
teacher of the blind and visually impaired in
New York City . I teach students who are blind
or visually impaired with additional disabilities. Last year, the local CSE
requested an updated eye report from each student. The majority of students
parents or guardians have complied and I have updated eye reports on the
majority of my <span style=""> </span>students. However,
two students parents are not making an effort to get their child to a low vision
clinic or ophthalmologist for the updated eye reports. I have spoken with one
parent who states that it's difficult to travel to any appointment with the
child and that the parent has a newborn baby and family to care for. The other
parent is difficult to reach. I have asked the classroom teacher and the nurse
to assist me in explaining the necessity to both parents about getting an
updated eye report that states the student's acuity level and preferably the
visual diagnosis. How do I gofrom here? When the time comes to revise the Iep
and write an annual progress report for the student's annual review I <span style=""> </span>can mention in the progress report to the
Cse that parents have refused to get an updated eye report and let the cse
decidewhether or not <span style=""> </span>to grant these
students services in vision education next year. Please assist me in dealing
with difficult parents . Sara Rooz</span></div>
