[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 556348, member: 11791"] Teacher needs to get fired. (JMO) Could she ever become a 5-star chef? probably not. Could she be a line-cook in a neighborhood restaurant? Or even a specialty cook in a local joint? absolutely. But they (i.e. school and specialists and whoever else you can pull in) need to get to the bottom of WHY she struggles so much with "listening" and auditory processing... and then get her the REAL accommodations and interventions for the disability. PLUS a real raking over the coals for the teacher. Hands-on learners learn by doing, not by paper work, but many of them do BETTER than those who can do the paperwork, when it comes to hands-on. Many trades programs (including apprenticeship) have major accommodations for LDs - because the DOING is the most critical. A good mechanic with severe Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) may have to do everything from workorders rather than anything verbal... but if he can do the "tough fixes" he'll never be out of a job. If your difficult child can cook to the level that customers rave... somebody will want that skill. Get an advocate. [/QUOTE]
