[QUOTE="buddy, post: 520263, member: 12886"] It is so true. Having worked in the system from birth through grade 12 I can tell you I was much closer to families in the early years... and as a mom who has been through it from ecse on.... yeah, there is far more care, concern, etc...when they are cute and little. Since not working (taking care of my difficult child) I have been volunteering and reading in the spmi room and I get so sad at how much time they are just lying around and no one is running goals with them. They are often treated more as a hospital care facility instead of an education setting. I started grabbing communication buttons and taking kids for walks in the building and giving them opportunities to use their social skills. It is heart breaking. (have to say there are always heros and there were a couple of aides who could practically read the minds of some of the kids. SO respectful and careful with their privacy and warned them before touching etc... just some beautiful souls too...I am just saying, overall it was hard to be around---NOT the kids, but the adults who were not working directly with the kids who sometimes sat in front of the same movie for MONTHS) [/QUOTE]
