I do find that whenever I talk about playette. I get one of two reactions people who can have a respectful conversation and people who don't have any sense of decency. She’s a child first, why does this get brushed away so fast? <br /><br />I wonder if the approach needs to shift. Of course you’re her Mom/Advocate, but maybe you need to be her agent or legal representative meaning lawyer not guardian. This is maddening and I’m just an observer.

A short drive from our house is an inclusive preschool/daycare for kids 0-5. They provide EI services for working moms, just preschool, or just daycare. Lots of nearby school districts contract with them for preschool for kids w/IEPs in that gap-py 3-5 age range (ours doesn't, but our school will bus her back over for aftercare). <br /><br />And no, my girl does NOT have a shadow there (nor would she need one!)... but they do lots of signing & other nice supportive stuff. <br /><br />I tell you this only to encourage you to keep looking. Surely there's a good place out there for your girl! <br /><br />[Am wondering about services if you don't go through your school district? Will you have to pay OOP? Just curious]krlrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392064691347464660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561933350396407754.post-978679987406394432011-07-29T16:37:10.257-04:002011-07-29T16:37:10.257-04:00All of this is so new to me, Tatiana has begun pre...All of this is so new to me, Tatiana has begun preschool as of Monday for a Summer session.She is in a multi disabilities classroom, I am not sure how I feel about that but my options were limited. I don't feel like she needs to be in that setting but for now I'll allow it so that she can continue getting services (she aged out of EI) I hope Playette gets to attend the school of your choice and be placed in a typical classroom.rastagalnjhttp://rastagalnj.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561933350396407754.post-83769013562384453522011-07-29T15:04:34.194-04:002011-07-29T15:04:34.194-04:00Okay, I have thoughts here.

Here are some blog posts about it:<br /><br /><a href="http://piepmeier.blogspot.com/2010/05/preschools-post-1.html" rel="nofollow">Post #1</a><br /><a href="http://piepmeier.blogspot.com/2010/05/preschools-2.html" rel="nofollow">Post #2</a><br /><a href="http://piepmeier.blogspot.com/2010/05/maybelle-and-preschool-this-one-less.html" rel="nofollow">Post #3 (this one quite upbeat, the happy ending)</a><br /><br />Your daughter doesn't need a shadow. Period. She needs to be fully included, and if they don't get that, then fuck them. If she needs assistance in the classroom, then that assistance needs to take the form of therapists who come in and integrate fully with the natural preschool environment, playing with Playette and her friends, not pulling her aside, and not acting as her nanny.<br /><br />Grrrr. Makes me so mad!<br /><br />I see that I have, in fact, become pushy, and I apologize. Other folks may have thoughts that contradict mine, so I don't pretend to be the only voice on this topic!Alison Piepmeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854288403934814noreply@blogger.com
