I haven’t received any information about my daughter speech therapy. She was supposed to get an elevation schedule at the school she is supposed to be attaching next year. But I haven’t heard back since I turned in her paperwork last month. The home speech only got extended until January 11th. I’ve been going to the school asking them if they have any news, but they just brush me off. I’ve emailed & talked to my daughters caseworker and she told me that she will call them to see what’s the hold up, but never heard back from her either. Have any of you ladies been through this? Is it normal for them to take this long to get a date to just evaluate my daughter on her speech?
Yes, totally normal. I’m an elementary school assistant principal. There are legal timelines that need to be followed and in most cases it’s 75-90 days (depending on the state) to complete all of the testing once the decision is made to evaluate.
It took about 3-2 months to fully get set up with the speech therapy when my daughter was getting services for the first time.
But I didn’t go through a school. It was the birth to three program.
I've never been through this, but I'd just keep callin EVERY single person involved DAILY, or multiple times a day until I get an answer. They'll eventually get tired of havin to deal with you and just want to get you answered so you'll leave them alone. It's worked for me in NUMEROUS situations, where I'm gettin the runaround. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" is so VERY true!! Good luck Mama!
I had a speech evaluation through occupational therapy for my son when he was 3. Then they suggested he started pre school at age 3 and still go at age 4 and have speech 2x a week. He wasn't talking much. Helped alot. But it didn't take long at all. I mean his very first appointment with occupational therapy was months out but I scheduled it the same day I called
I’m thinking of pull my daughter from her school and into home school because of the sex Ed coming to her school. How is home schooling.?
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
Idk what to do. My daughter is excited to go to school each day but when she’s actually in school she’s giving the teachers such a hard time. She is constantly running out of the classroom, throws tantrums, tells the teacher no & refuses to do any work. I’m really trying to hold off on pulling her back out but I have no idea what to do. I’ve talk to her several times, I’ve taken all of her toys away, took tv time away, told her she can’t play with her siblings yet she’s still doing what she want...
Thank you ladies..I’m to have to go again before winter break..but kinda nervous because I went yesterday to ask.
