[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 482201, member: 11847"] I think the meeting went quite well. The regional director agreed that there are a lot of dysfunctions within the center. She even said that they have the resources to help kids like V, but those ressources are simply rendered useless if the teachers don't utilize them! I could not agree more with that statement. She mentioned more teacher training. She also was worried by the fact that the center's staff did not help me get connected with resources when I went to them and begged for help. She said "how can we expect offering help to parents that are in denial of their kids' issues when we can't even help an involved parent". I was quite kind about the disability specialist (who I felt was competent and caring) but the director was not so much: she said that the disability specialist's job is to create strategies AND to make sure the teachers actually implement them by coming to the center and observing. She never came to the center to do so... I believe this center's problems are very deep and I'm not sure the changes will be fast enough to benefit V. But I can only hope that, in the future, other kids won't have to share the our bad experience. And who knows, V still has 6 months in this preschool... maybe his needs will be met, maybe they will be, indeed, able to reach him. (my poor little V still does not understand what happens during circle time... he calls that "doing art" sigh). [/QUOTE]
