Post Reply New Topic

You don't do letters that are going to be brought into the board if I have to go to an alternative school this is what we are requesting because I've been in the camp and we don't know any were else

Removed some sensitive stuff.

Jen. that is great that you got those. That should really help you. If I were you, I would also cover up the names of the people and the addresses and phone numbers as well since you are posting this publicly.

But good for you for getting them. Hopefully you will be able to get the help that you deserve for your school now.

Jen I will fix those letters for you.

Now take them down and I will upload them again with the personal info gone.

There are about 7 or 8 people I have come to know on this board including yourself Jen.

You will find the people you interact with most will respond to you most that is just human nature even among us spectrum folk.

I am delighted you got those letters I know it can be a struggle to get anything of these professionals.

Hi Jen,

Thank you for posting the letter.

Yes, you have to take out all the private stuff. I think SharkAttack already did that for you.

I don't think this indicates that they don't think you could get a Regent's Diploma.

They want to you get academic support, like one-to-one teaching, so you could "take baby steps" on your way towards getting less and less academic support--so, eventually, you could be returned to as "normal" a class setting (which is your goal). In the meantime, you would make slow, but steady, progress towards your Regent's diploma.

The letter acknowledges that your aim is to graduate in an "appropriate" setting. I interpret that as meaning that you want to walk with your friends in the graduation ceremony. But I think it also means that they acknowledge that you want to graduate with more than an IEP or "local" diploma.

The letter indicates that you need one-on-one teaching and a lighter course loads. The letter also states that you should be around other "normal" kids so you could continue to progress socially.

My advice is for you to hard work on your goals, concentrate hard on doing well in your subjects, and really try to not let your "disabilities" get in the way of your accomplishing things.

Your struggles will assist you in becoming an Autism Advocate.

I wanted to ask you:

Did you actually pass the Regents in the subjects you mentioned, with a 65 percent or above grade, or did you pass the Regents Competency Test (RCT)?

If you passed the actual Regents, I don't see why you can't continue to pass them in the future.

I hope other people will chime in--who have more experience in this sort of education. I was in Special Ed as a kid--but it's very, very different nowadays.
