Of course this is just a warning for me to be prepared for upcoming IEPs in the next few years.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256371707801041596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645130.post-44158277810434354532008-10-05T05:16:00.000-07:002008-10-05T05:16:00.000-07:00Congratulations on the progress your daughter has ...Congratulations on the progress your daughter has made! I have one recommendation- the school seems to have low standards for dropping therapies that are not supported by IDEA. It's great to think Janelle no longer "needs" physical therapy (because she can sit and walk), but gross motor skills are associated with so many other functions. How about being able to play games with other kids at recess? Or the gross motor planning associated with so many other independent living skills (lifting and carrying, pushing and pulling things on and off, etc). And speech therapy should not be stopped if she gets an augmentative device. An SPL therapist should be focused on all aspects of communication. There is so much more than vocal speech like comprehension, following directions, imitation, joint attention, use of gestures, asnwering questions (in whatever way possible) etc etc- and how to use a device to communicate! <BR/><BR/>Janelle clearly responds well to therapy so it shouldnt be reduced unnecessarily.<BR/>-Im a child psychologist:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645130.post-26600580472104951312008-10-03T19:57:00.000-07:002008-10-03T19:57:00.000-07:00oh Kelly that is awesome.
