I think I got good news from the evaluator of the kids. We went through the reports. She had some suggestions I could give/ask the OT and stuff. Her recommendation for the kids, and this is a pro-public school person who thinks kids can just get social skills through public school that she would recommend only an hour or 2 a day in public school and in a self-contained special needs classroom or if not, with an aide or assistant for them. But said S15 would have a lot of transition problems and stuff. I was planning on having him attend community college in 1 year (when he's a junior in high school is the earliest they allow) and then sign him up for one or 2 classes to start with.
I don't see how the reports will help H. D9 is now seeing psych, therapist, OT. Because of the new recommendations I'm also going to take D9 to the speech therapist weekly. And possibly an hour or 2 a day at public school. It's almost like he's made it almost more difficult for me to work full-time which I think was his ultimate goal. I'm thinking the report may help me more than H. Basically she was saying they have major processing difficulties, motor planning, organizational issues, etc. Karen
