Are you happy with your child's special ed school? Why or why not? What would you like to see improved? My child has attended two different special ed schools. I took her out of the first one because it didn't meet my standards for her academically or socially. Now, she's at a great school! The teachers are warm and caring, the admininstration has open doors and open ears. The children have a lot of outdoor activity each day (weather permitting). Tell us about your child's school. We can offer and trade ideas to improve our children's schools. IP: Logged |

My son is mainstreamed in a school in CT. We are extremely pleased with the school and the way he has been treated. He attends the first grade class and also a special ed class, plus has a TOD and SLP. The only thing that would need improvements in the accoustics. The school is very old and that presents problems!

I am a teacher in IN at a public school that provides specialized education. I am currently the "Hearing Impaired Teacher" there and am quite excited at what public schools can provide, but am awaiting for better services for hard of hearing and Deaf students. It is hard to achieve the best when money is what stands between being a good program and being an awesome program. IP: Logged |

Hi - Welcome to the HearingExchange community! Tell us about your job as the Hearing Impaired Teacher. Do you push in, pull out or both? Do you have a lot of students in your school that you see? Be sure to post on the Professionals board, people there are looking to network and trade ideas on working with deaf and HOH children. How long have you been a teacher of the hearing impaired? -Paula ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hello, I live in St. Louis, MO and am what is called a Hearing Itinerant. I travel to 4-5 schools per day and serve hearing impaired and deaf students. I am also a speech pathologist. Next year I will be going back to practicing as an SLP in two wonderful schools: one TC program and another oral. I am anxious to move out of the Hearing Itinerant position, mainly because I do not really feel I am serving my students adequately. When I have to travel around to so many different schools I do not feel that I have a good enough "grip" on the academics that I am to be helping my students on in each school. If I were there all day I could have more time to confer with their teachers and find out more about their assignments. Most of the time I am just running around trying to catch up!!! IP: Logged |

I am somewhat happy with the schools my children attend but I'd like to see some changes. I pushed and pushed for the FM system to be put into both of their classrooms and finally got them. My sons preschool teachers are really awesome, they incorporate sign language in class and teach all the students, not just my son. My sons speech therapists tries very hard to better herself to learn more to be able to teach more but the school limits her. She was unable to attend a free sign language course given through the county and has been trying to get a grant to buy sign language materials(the school has very minimum) but has not yet succeded. My daughters itinerate also teaches the entire class sign but is also limited with materials. I have such wonderful teachers wanting to do everything they can but things just seem so limited. Any advice? I do have some sign materials at home that I share back and forth, any other suggestions? Thankyou, Kim IP: Logged |
