Adult Life After Special Ed Services End - Encourage Productivity
This is part 1 of a multi part series.
It can feel like you've fallen off a cliff when your disabled adult child exits the public school system. The exit can be either at High School Graduation or when they complete the 18-22 Post High program. Either way they may not follow the typical path of going to college/getting a job and moving out. Some will utlize day programs and group homes but some will have opportunities to do more. This video is for those kids that are able to learn a trade, get job and hopefully someday live on their own.
Books I recommend:
Special Education Law by Peter Wright

Special Ed Storytime - Retaliation and Discrimination
zhlédnutí 13Před 2 měsíci
We requested an intervention. The Special Ed Director repeatedly denied our request based upon lack of research (despite presenting peer review articles presented by us and her own staff). The denials continued for 18 months and were even used in response to a State IDEA complaint we filed. A FERPA request uncovered otherwise. See what happened and how the denial suddenly changed to not needed ...

The Special Ed Director tried to deny a parental request based upon liability issues. I knew they offered this, called them out and got the request granted. Ignorance or attempted discrimination? Who knows but I stopped it.

Educational need includes Functional, Academic and Developmental
zhlédnutí 48Před 2 měsíci
IEP Eligibility and Services are not limited to just academics. Schools must consider functional and developmental needs also. Evaluations must assess ALL AREAS of suspected disability, not use a single criterion for determination and be sufficiently comprehensive to determine need (IDEA 34 CFR 300.301). Don't let the school tell you if your child has good grades that they can't qualify. Nation...

Disagree with the offer of FAPE. Learn the steps you need to take if you hope to seek reimbursement for private placement or services. I have successfully done this for private services when the ESY services offered did not provide FAPE. You may need to file for Due Process if you are seeking a large reimbursement for private school placement so be prepared for that. Nationwide advocate here wi...

FAPE Required if Program Publically Funded - Special Ed Story Time

If an educational program (private or not) is funded in any way with public funds then it is subject to FAPE requirements - IDEA 34 CFR 300.2.

Hello there I like your content very much. Your content is very good but I noticed how your CZcams channel is not getting any views and subscribers are very less and due to some problem you are like this your channel needs some update then your views subscribers will increase. If you want to increase subscriber views then we can increase your channel subscriber if you need any help let me know. I will wait for your reply.
You know what? I am a regular viewer of your CZcams channel. I have seen your videos and the content quality is very good. Your channel has quality content but still it is not delivering its right audiences due to SEO problems. SEO optimization will also make your videos appear first in Google, CZcams, Bing, and other search engine search results by relevant keywords. You should focus on your video's SEO for the right audiences and more organic views so that you can have big fanbases. For Your CZcams videos SEO problems-solving and how it works have one's permission to ask me any questions
Thanks for your video! I was constantly told my child didn't need ESY but I couldn't understand becuase he was so behind in skills! I didn't agree but it wasn't a decision I was involved in. The SPED cooridinator would just say the testing said he wasn't eligible and gave me documents to show that. At the end of first grade he couldn't write all his ABCs and their answer to that problem was giving me a handwriting book that he should have completed in the previous school year for me to complete with him during the summer.
You are so welcome and I am so sorry. I hope you saw the link below that talks about all the criteria they have to consider. Happy to step in if you want an advocate to push for more/better and compensatory education for past failures. My email is in the description - reach out if you want to talk more.
Thanks for sharing your experience. 🙏✝️
