[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 387615, member: 1550"] Any kid with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified should have an IEP, services falling under Autism. Call the DPE and get an advocate. The school knows it's screwing your child (probably both) and it doesn't care. My sister is an Aide in a Special Education classroom in Illinois and she said the bottom line is money. It's expensive to test. THEN she said, although she qualified that shes couldn't speak for all teachers, that the ones that she knows hate modifying curriculums because it takes a lot of time. They don't want to bother with the extra work and sis told me it's a lot more work to do it than we think. So she feels it's money combined with laziness. And she also said that the parents don't see what really goes on in school because they put on a good act when you're there...that the aides do a large amount of the work that the teacher should be doing, at least in her classroom. The teachers likes the higher functioning kids, but throws the lower functioning kids off on her aides to educate (they have no training to teach) and also likes them to be mainstreamed so that they are out of her hair. My sister does not speak for anyone but the teacher she works for, but I have always suspected that my son got most of his help from his aide and I am forever grateful to her. My sister's bottom line is...fight, fight, fight or you will get nothing. So that's what I"m doing, but it's taking a huge emotional toll on me and hub. I'm too old to be a mom...lol. I quit! J/k :)) [/QUOTE]
