Does this recommendation sound like a child should/could get occupational therapy or adaptive P.E.?

We Answered:

Before your child is dismissed from Speech, call an IEP meeting and request formal psychological, OT, process and academic testing. This will reveal any other learning disabilities as well as those that accompany CAPD. It will also show whether or not there is a discrepancy between ability and achievement, which is needed for qualification for special education services. Don't just request this, demand it!

However, if you have a doctor's diagnosis of the ADHD, she can qualify for services under Other Health Impaired, without worrying about the discrepancy rules. However, she will still need testing to get into special ed. The sooner, the better.

While OT might help to some degree, I also suggest that your child receive accommodations that include access to visuals of all information presented verbally and on the overhead. Your child will take in most information through the visual channels, so she needs that support. If she has trouble organizing her thoughts, then graphic organizers will help with this.

Another thing that might help is an wireless FM system that is worn by the teacher and delivers information directly into her ears, which helps with auditory discrimination as well as dimming noise distractions in the environment. To get this system, you must ask for an assertive technology trial on the IEP. Be sure to do this.

The other thing that I urge you to do is visit the Wright's Law page and read up on your rights as a parent of a child with special needs. There is also extensive information on Other Health Impaired and 504 plans. It is very important that you know your rights before going into any meeting. That way you can feel confident and assured when asking for specific assistance.

Can someone proof read my research paper?

We Answered:

How much are you offering to pay? It will take hours to check a paper properly. No-one except your best mate is going to do it for free.

So - to answer your question - "Can someone proof read my research paper?" Yes, your best mate, but I don't think anyone else will unless you pay them

I'm with Beautiful Blessings. Call CPS.

Ignore the person who said it is none of your business. Anytime a child isn't being properly cared for, it is our business.
