Discrimination, Ignorance and Middle School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post is all about venting!!!! Seems some folks at my local middle school have forgotten what it means to be a "Public" School.

They have been batting me around like a cat does a mouse, giving me excuse after excuse why they have not "Yet" enrolled Nicky in their SML technology program. I’m just being stalled because they don't know how to say "We just don't want him here" or "We are afraid it will disrupt the other kids" or "We don't understand this population and we don't want to deal with something we don't understand".

Adding insult to injury, I really think they believe I am too stupid to know they are making excuses, or that I could actually do something about it.

How could any school administrator not know that record numbers of ASD kids were going to leave elementary school and show up on their doorstep, many ready and capable of participating fully in general education classrooms. Wake up folks…gone are the day’s of just special day programs and costly NPA’s for ASD kids. They are here and each is entitled to get an education in the “Least Restrictive Environment”!

More to come….when I cool off.

  2. You have got to be joking? If it wasn't for having a friend like Nicky he would have never made his transition into a LRE in Elementary. He is a role model and inspiration for children with PDD. When will you let them in on the secret of how BRILLIANT you are! I will check in later.

  3. I understand all about the system. Remeber God belongs to Nicky. You were the vehicle he used to come here and be exactly who he is. Trust God does not make mistakes! Everything is right where it is supposed to be with all parties concerned. Nicky and you are living in Gods perfect blueprint laid out for you. Trust what you cannot see. Trust that God knows the program Humanville will waste your spiritual self. Do not forget you and Nicky are in perfect right order and perfect right action. You have to stretch your sphere of availability regarding gods plan for your family. The district has a lot fore fear than you fo. It is obvious. They are out for there own financial security. Not the education of our children. Only their bank acccounts. Watch the law of cause and law of effect. Remeber your tools. Thoughts are powerful. Focus on what you do have. Not what you dont have. Its sooo wrong! No Child left behind is a joke! I think LAUSD never got the memo. Trust this will go full circle. Tyr to be patient and keep your soul focused on how powerful God is. Love you Donna! Ill be treating for you. Go see Dr. Mark ASAP!

  8. I have a 12 year old son with autism. I have had severe problems in Trinidad Colorado as well as Pueblo West Colorado. I have had child protective services come to my house at the schools request insisting I am abusing my son to the police showing up to see if he has a bed and so forth. My son was not allowed to attend school unless you want to call 12 hours a month and of that 12 hours 6 was when school was out. My due process case number on the colorado department of education web site is 2009-506. I have also been arrested because of my advocacy work for my son. Oh and to read more on my case go too http://www.ripoffreport.com/school-bullies/trinidad-public-scho/trinidad-public-schools-fisher-a95bc.htm Oh and I can not began to tell you what the Colorado locals tried to do to my sons siblings!
