Special Ed Advocacy: How To Push The System To
Provide Exactly What Your
Child Needs In Order To Be Successful In School
Fighting for services regarding SPD is always a problem (that IS
changing!!) it seems.
So you need to fight, fight, fight with very specific ways
in which
the SPD interferes with your child's education.
The schools are not set up to service these kids unless it significantly
impacts their educational functioning.
First and foremost, you must spend a lot of time on one particular
website...
Wrights Law . It has everything you will need to know about your rights, your
child's rights, how to obtain services, etc. It is awesome!
Second, I highly recommend the
Ideal Lives website...
for more specific information regarding disabilities and advocacy.
If you can not get the proper answers with the info, try to hook up with an
advocate. I know there is a link
or two on Lisa's Ideal Lives website that will help you find one
in your area! What is not known, is how many advocates
are specifically used to fighting for SPD kids.
Also, don't forget to personally talk to an OT about this... the first
place to start, of course is an OT.
