[QUOTE="keista, post: 529640, member: 11965"] I've been pondering this all morning, and I can't really think of anyone who REALLY helped. My advocate helps by being, not by doing. She shows up and the school staff just do what they are supposed to. The reason is because they know if they screw up or around advocate WILL take them to court. And since nothing about son's IEP is really all that exceptional, all I really need is the threat of her. Son did have a teacher in4th grade who was so enthusiastic to work with him. I thought wow, this will be a good year! NOT She was [B]too [/B]enthusiastic. Instead of accommodating [B]HIM[/B], she just took all reasonable accommodations and applied them to EVERY situation to the point where she was really annoying son. LOL Oh, but we're talking good stuff. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm OK< well there's the sped teacher in HS who is a pretty good mentor, as well as the computer teacher. They both really "get" son and work with him as much as possible. And I guess the VP should get an honorable mention here making life so easy with that whole science teacher fiasco. For DD1 there was her counselor in summer camp who happened to be a sped teacher at a different school. (hmmmmmmmmmmm wonder if she had picked up on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) back then - I was still on anxiety and mood disorder. We had a few "off the record" conversations, but nothing about the cause of her behaviors - just her actual behaviors.) Also this year's and last year's teachers. Thinking about it, I've gotten more help and support through and from the schools than the community. And my schools are far from perfect, but they are good. [/QUOTE]
