I have read a lot in the past few weeks about the worries for their children once they inter school and how to pick the right program for their children. First off I need to say that I had rough days and weeks but after the third week of school I was like any other kid for the most part. My parents talked with me and twin about questions kids might have and answers I could give them. Many students were to shy to ask me but twin got asked questions all the time.
I went to a half day kindergarten and had services at school after the other students went home. A large number of my services were out of the classroom but my teacher worked it so that I would miss stuff like silent reading. This was good and bad many days I did not want to go out of the room especially for OT (it was so hard and frustrating for me). At the same time I was embarrassed about how hard something were for me to do like string those stupid beads on a string. I would not have worked at those things if my peers were with me.
I loved gym class even though I could not do most of it. The teacher was great and I had a wonderful APE teacher that had me work with all the kids in the class helping me but allowing me to be with the kids. Keep in mind that this was elementary school. The school was all one level so I did not have to deal with stairs.
Nothing is written is stone and as a parent you have many rights that allow you to make changes for your child about their services and programs.
