can parents of a disabled child take and bring them into school until the aide arrives then leave?

It depends on the severity of the child's disability. I have spinal muscualr atrophy and was appointed an aide until I was in grade 3 or so. I didn't really NEED one, however the schoolboard felt it necessary to have one around. \n\nPersonally, I think it is good to NOT have the aide or parent around all the time. Let a kid be a kid. Sure being disabled is going to make things different, and kids might approach him/her differently... but all kids are going to find something different about someone. Adults do it too.\n\nBest thing to do, is ask the kid. Does he/she feel ok about being left alone for a while. Does the kid have any friends? Let the friends watch over him. Kids are suprisingly good at caring for others. I know I had lots of little girls who offered to help me get my jacket on and off , put my books in my bag/locker, and that kept me company waiting before school.\n\nDon't shelter the kid, unless it is absolutely necessary and because of some health issue. Alone time and exploration of normal socializing and experiences is necessary for everyone. Disabled or not.\n\nHe/She may grow up stronger for it.

When you say stay in daycare, do you mean a daycare center or like the "Y"? I use to do in home daycare and the longest the children were allowed to stay in care was up to the age of 12 years old.\n\nIf a parent had a child that wasn't trustworthy to stay home or go to after school, then I would let them come and stay with me as a favor to the parent.

You will need a court ordered judgement, and they will have to be properly served notice.\n\nIt would be nice if you waited until June if they have kids, so you don't disrupt their schooling..if they are going to school...

Until they are of a certain age yes.  I think the child has to be 13 and then they are old enough to make the choice of wether they want to go or not, but either way, it will have to go through court to be done properly.

The school has a speech therapist.  My daughter has a language disability and takes speech therapy at school.  It is free of charge and they are trained professionals that can help you.  The school must test and provide this to you under the "no child left behind act".  Don't let this bother you.  No 2 people are the same.  We all talk different, look different and learn different.  The people that treat you as if you are of lower intelligence ..well lets just say that is there disability.  Stand up for yourself and show them what you know when they try to give you extra help.  Show them you are not afraid and how smart you are.

your parents should have the final say as to whether you can go. if they are supportive of you then this teacher shouldnt be able to stop you from going. if you have your parents support, ask your teacher to sign the slip. if she doesnt, report it to the office, or someone in charge of your trips, and have them contact your parents.\n\ngood luck!

My son was diagnosed as attention deficit and mildy autistic by our public education system in Texas. We were told he would never hold a job, graduate from H.S., and would be institutionalized as an adult. We fought the system continuously, forced them to place him in mainstream classes and to accommodate his learning disabilities, much to the dismay of educators. He graduated last month from college, has had a job for six years and drives a new car he purchased himself. \nIf you are willing to completely dedicate yourself to helping your child , they can overcome this disability, it will not be easy. The public education system would rather label your child and place them in special education. Without a voucher system there is no help available from private specialized programs.

If your daughter is delayed with her eye-hand coordination, did not qualify for special education services, but her handwriting and coordination interfere with her ability to perform well in class, then she DOES qualify for a Section 504. This is under the Americans with Disabilities Act, in which accomodations must be made to allow a child (or adult worker) accessibility to the work area, materials, etc. so that he/she can effectively do his/her work (for the child, the work is learning).\n\nSchools tend to want to avoid 504 plans, as they cost money without bringing in any extra funding. However, if they don't provide her with one, they are out of compliance and can lose what funding they already have. Get your private Visual or Occupational Therapist's diagnostic information and reports on impact for your daughter's performance in school, march on down to the principal, and say the magic words, "I have documentation for my child's ADA SECTION 504 needs. So, when can the committee meet during this upcomming month?" Under 504, assignments can be modified, specialized pencil grips or keyboarding can be provided, etc. \n\nI would also recommend contact your state's or local parent advocacy group. This is made up of parents with kids with special needs who have "been there and done that" already. They can help you with your particular state's processes, making sure meetings happen and in a timely manner, etc.\n\nhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/info/sec504.index.htm\nhttp://www.children-special-needs.org/vision_therapy/optometric_vision_therapy.html\nhttp://www.visiontherapystories.org/eye_tracking_disorders.html

I don't know where the people above are getting their numbers, but there is no LEGAL maximum.  Most administrators who want to keep their staff happy are going to try to split the special needs inclusion students as evenly as possible among the regular ed teachers.  However, this is not always logistically possible. Schedules and staffing issues must fit IEP hours of service, and that often means grouping all the special needs kids into one regular ed classroom (essentially almost creating another self-contained special ed class, taught by a regular ed teacher having special ed teacher support, with some regular ed students included in the mix).\n\nThere is always an ongoing debate about how best to assign students to regular ed teachers. Personally, I think it should be based on teaching style vs. student need fit (personality fit), and scheduling issues should be addressed by having more special ed teachers, and being more practical in caseload assignments.\n\nHere are some articles about groupings debates and how to most effectively use staff:\n\nhttp://www.education-world.com/a_admin/admin/admin340.shtml\n\nhttp://www.weac.org/resource/june96/speced.htm\n\nhttp://www.principalspartnership.com/spedinclusion.pdf\n\nhttp://www.teachervision.fen.com/special-education/teaching-methods/2972.html\n\nThere are assumptions made by lawmakers and academic researchers, that do not always apply in the "real" world. The amount of planning time available, the willingness of regular ed teachers to learn how to multi-task their instructional strategies and/or share instructional control with another teacher (especially a sped teacher), administrator willingness to center their school planning around the disabled students, etc.

No. They cannot legally leave their parents until the age of 18.\n12 is out of the question, since they're not allowed to join the work force at that age.\nIn some instances, they can go to court at the age of 17, possibly even 16, and have a judge declare them legally emancipated (free from parental control), but that is rare. The circumstances would need to be unusual.

Yes you could but for that you have to check with your Child's school if they have an provision for the same.........\n\nAlso you maight require some login and password which would be normally given by the school authorities.......

I'm not sure exactly who you should go to, but you might try speaking with a local Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (link below).  They handle discrimination cases and that type of thing - if the school is denying your child services that he needs, then I'm pretty sure they can help you with this at no cost to you.  \n\nIf your child hasn't officially been diagnosed as special needs, however, the school is probably not obligated to offer extra services.  In any case, the teacher should be making modifications of her instruction to reach all students no matter what level they are performing at (research the term "differentiated instruction").\n\nOther possibilities (though I don't know much about using services from these entities so I may be wrong) might be a legal aid office or the attorney general's office.  \n\nI would highly recommend documenting every conversation you have had with teachers, administrators, etc., on this subject (you might even considering putting a voice recorder on your telephone, or carrying one with you when you speak in person - in most states this is legal as long as one person participating in the conversation is aware of it, but I'd recommend checking the laws for your state).  Also document the actions they've taken (firing the aide) and all the correspondence they send you (the letter about the teacher's credentials).  Documentation goes a long way in legal proceedings if your situation goes to that extreme - it will probably also give you some leverage at the IEP meeting if someone says something that you can disprove based on your detailed, accurate records. (Be sure to keep your records factual though, don't make assumptions about what you thought you saw or understood).\n\nI would also recommend going above the principal's head to the superintendent and asking to see a copy of the teacher's license/certification.  It should state whether or not the teacher has special ed credentials.\n\nBest of luck to you!

Sure, but in all honesty, it's not likely.  In my school district (and I think in most places), the principal of the school usually has the final say, and they usually pass the student on.  If the child has dyslexia and modifications are being made as a result (which they should be) but the child is not doing his/her part in school, the child can most certainly be retained.  If the child is trying his/her best and the teacher, the parents, the IEP committee, and the principal all think the child will be okay in the next grade, he/she will pass.

your question is not clear - are you talking about the right to hold your child back (retain in grade) or are you talking about your right to keep a child in school after he has been expelled?\nYou have the right to do the first, but not to do the second - provided the school board has followed all the federal education guidelines.\nOK, thank you for the clarification. If your child is not performing up to grade, he may have a learning disability.  I would, at least, express that possibility to the school board and demand that he be tested and if he is entitled to Special Education he is also entitled to receive an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP can be as simple as retaining him in grade.

Nope. Not at all. Just make certain that the requirements at the other school won't keep your child from graduating on time.

I don't think so.  If the parent is not neglecting the child or endangering the child in any way, it is not likely.  A child is taken away usually only when the child's physical or emotional well being is at risk.

As a mother of two, I don't find this acceptable at all. If it were my child there would be some problems. I have an autistic son and he is very sensitive(I am also very protective of him). There are so many other positive ways to get a child to behave. It sounds like she just done whatever would work. It is very wrong to put down any child. It can cause psychological issues later in life. It may also cause children to look at him differently. It may cause him to not want to go to school, especially if he doesn't have friends, now he might feel like his teacher doesn't like him either.\nIf this was my child I would go directly to the teacher and have a meeting with her and the principal to correct the situation. I would also file a complaint with the school board so they would be aware incase this problem would ever arise again with my child or any other. That way they would know she has repeated the behavior and not changed. I would also request that she go for training on "How to positively correct a child". I know they have these type of classes because when I worked in a day care the entire staff was required to go.\nI hope someone done something for this child's sake and the children she will have in the future.
