Language and Auditory Processing Disorders: 1 year, 6 months agoMy daughter had her language processing testing done at OSU a few weeks-ago. She hated it because she hates being tested. I had to bribe her with a new pair of boots to get her to do the testing at all. I just got the report. Surpise: she has a fairly severe processing disorder. I have not read the details yet, but the report offers many…[Read more]

Language and Auditory Processing Disorders: 1 year, 8 months agoThanks everyone for your support. Katie is feeling better. I got her a book to help her remember the names for the different moves she is supposed to know. She knows the moves, but forgets their names. My wife is working with Ballet Met on making some modifications for Katie. They seem willing to help, which is nice considering how much we are…[Read more]

Language and Auditory Processing Disorders: 1 year, 8 months agoGood news: My daughter is getting additional testing for her language processing disorder in mid-October. Bad News: She came home from dance (which she loves more than I can explain) crying and saying that she cannot keep up with the more complex instructions she is being given in Ballet 4. Not sure if this is just her perception or if it is her…[Read more]

Behavior Issues: 1 year, 8 months agoDammit. I have problems figuring out where to write things on this website. I know where my daughter inherited her problems from. Anyway, my son’s first few weeks seem to have been good. He likes the school and is making friends. He has been more willing to do his homework than last year. We have [...]

IEP Discussion: 1 year, 8 months agoMy daughter had an IEP in Kindergarten, but then moved to a Montessori school where they were able to adjust her work without an IEP. Now she is moving to a charter school and I am wondering if we should go in with an IEP, or wait and see how she does. The biggest problem area is math, but she also needs additional time to complete her work in all areas.

I agree with Laura, Ben. I would get the IEP. I was told here that if an IEP wasn’t obtained in elementary school, it was next to impossible to get them in the upper level grades. Of course, that is hearsay, but I took it to heart anyway. Especially with slower processing (my daughter has that as well) it is really necessary to have the…[Read more]

Behavior Issues: 1 year, 9 months agoThanks Julia. We have talked about a behavior system, which we may implement. We may also ask to meet with the teacher early this year. Hopefully she will read his old grade cards from his old school. His last 2 teachers wrote out exactly how to deal with my son’s stubborn streak. It is not [...]

Behavior Issues: 1 year, 9 months agoMy son is starting a new school in 10 days. We think we found the best possible school for him, but I am worried about the transition. My son tends to get mouthy when stressed out and this can cause problems at school. He does well academically, but behaviorally he can get himself into trouble. [...]

Language and Auditory Processing Disorders: 1 year, 9 months agoMy daughter is starting middle school in a few weeks. We did a lot of research and feel this is the best possible fit for her. Still, I am worried about how she will do at a new school. Mostly I am worried about how they will handle her language processing problems. It is so [...]

Well, dang, Ben, I’m sorry. There’s a mom on here whose 18-year old daughter has been dancing FOREVER and she’s really good at demonstrating steps for other people. They live in Delaware, I wonder if we could fix the two girls up? The mom is http://supportforspecialneeds.com/members/lynne4/ I can send you both a message to intro you if you like.
Oh that makes me sad, too. I wonder if you can work with the teacher…video the classes so she has time to study them ahead of time or behind? Is there a class earlier in the week you could video that might give her a head start? A private 15 or 30 min lesson? I know money and time wise that might not be possible, but just wondering if you can…[Read more]
