I have been an advocate for my brother for the past 35 years and have taught and worked with families with special needs kids and have a child of my own with special needs.  I live in PA so I don't have specific contact info for your state, but here are a few ideas:\n\nGet your facts together and practice having a calm and patient attitude with the people you contact - this will go a long way to getting what your child needs.  \n\nAs your child's best advocate, you need to have all the info about the child's diagnosis, and specific current needs that you & all the people working with the child have discovered.  Take notes, ask for info in writing, and be able to summarize the most important info for new people you contact.\n\nYour first resource level is the people who work directly with your child -- ask them for their ideas about what services your daughter needs most & how to get these services.  Could the therapists work with your daughter during the period before or after the 1/2 day kindergarten so she does not miss classroom time?  Schools are ususally good at accomodating therapists and should have some office space set aside for this.\n\nThe next level is the special education coordinators from your school & district.   If the IEP calls for programs they cannot provide directly in your local school, they can pay for your child to get these services at another school or district.  (you may have to weigh the impact of a longer bus ride on the child).\n\nIf the district cannot answer your questions, you need to find out about resources at the county level - the county office of your state's department of education.  \nTalk to your State Representative - they usually have district offices, and their staff helps constituents (voters like you) solve problems with state government offices.\n\nDoes your school district have an organization of special needs parents?  Meet with these parents, especially the ones who have older kids and have been through all this, they are really good at helping you advocate in an effective way while keeping on positive terms with your shcool staff.\n\nIf several other parents are facing similar difficulties and have not been satisfied, you may have more of an impact if you approach the school administration together and calmly but firmly discuss alternatives to legal action.  Letter writing and showing you are serious and united in your concerns may get things moving.  \n\nRemember not to get negative or confuse issues like ESL classes (not all Spanish speakers are illegal),  The more prepared and calm you are -- the more you will be taken seriously.  Over the years I have seen so many parents successfully guide their special needs kids and I have seen so many improvements and accomplishment  -- all the meetings and appointmnets and seminars and time spent with special kids really is worth it!  God bless you & yours with plenty of love & patience.

Talk with her and her parents to find out exactly what issues she has in both subjects.  If possible, look at her report card.  \n\nOnce you know what areas you need to target, go on-line to find worksheets, puzzles, games, etc. to help her in those areas.  There are tons of free websites for teachers to use.  You can even print review questions for most books you may want to read with her.  One of my favorite sites is http://www.edhelper.com.  It has math, reading, language arts, etc.  Many worksheets are free.  To be honest, WalMart has some pretty decent workbooks at that age level, too.   They won't be quite as expensive as a traditional bookstore (which is also a good source).  \n\nMost importantly, be kind, be patient, and be encouraging.

Are you home schooling her? If so, I have provided some links with some ideas that may help her?\n\nIf not, you should speak with her teachers to see how your activities at home can help their activities at school. Reading her stories at night and then having her read them is a good idea.

Tell her that whatever the odds, spontaneous remission can happen. As long as there is any hope at all, any possibility of recovery, she should keep going.\n\nAlso tell her that studying to become a pediatrician is the exact right thing to do. It will give her a direction and a dream of the future, and the satisfaction that someday she may save someone from leukemia with an early diagnosis.\n\nMedically, if the first three bone marrow transplants didn't do the trick she's probably screwed. Don't tell her that, because its a "probably" screwed and not a "definitely" screwed. Hope is good medicine because happiness and positive thinking boost the immune system. This is how one type of faith healer works: they create the illusion of a cure, which leads to brain chemical changes that may prompt the immune system to get its act in gear and clean house. Its generally wrong to manipulate people like this, but this time its justified.\n\nMake sure she socializes. Hospital beds can be a lonely place. See if your daughter and a few other people will visit her regularly: socialization is important to avoiding depression.\n\nGet her a subscription to lots of magazines, especially science ones. It will make her a better doctor and keep her entertained, and Scientific American and Discover and Science News contain the occasional article on new treatments for cancer which she would find uplifting. Give her normal magazines that fit her tastes too, whatever they are.\n\nYour daughter is a different matter from the patient. Tell her exactly what is happening. Too many parents protect their children from the real world unnecessarily, and when they finally step in the real world they can't cope. Make sure your daughter doesn't go through that.

For learning her ABC's, you can use any computer really. I would recommend including a Touch Screen, and a one-button mouse with your purchase, to make interaction with the computer much easier for her. You must be VERY patient with her regarding her learning to interact with the computer, and with her learning the content of the programs. \n\nWhat country are you in? If you are in the United States, then even if your daughter is on a "Life Skills" certficiate track at school, she should have goals relating to learning reading (actually, goals relating to each of the core academic subjects). Talk with your daughter's special education teacher about which goals tie in to the reading/language arts state standards and benchmarks. No Child Left Behind and the new reauthorization of IDEA requires that she have academic goals in the five core areas (Reading, Writing, Math, Science/Social Studies). However, your daughter may still be working on pre-reading and pre-writing goals that lead up to the regular standards. Ask about what activities they have been doing with her for the eventual acquisition of print recognition and writing. The school probably also has had your daughter on a computer already, for at least once per week (in the school computer lab or on a classroom computer).\n\nFrom your saying that you wish to "open up communication," I take it your daughter does NOT speak?  If she is not talking, then there are touch-board communication devices that greatly assist with basic communication. They range from 2 panels up to dozens of panels.  Once again, IF you are in the United States, your IEP committee should be looking at how to help her express herself in social communication. What does your Speech Pathologist say? Has your committee done an assistive technology assessment?\n\nFor your home computer, I would recommend the Reader Rabbit series, starting with their Infant, and then Pre-School programs, so that your daughter can learn how the computer works. Also, try the activities at these links (not all may interest her, but they are worth a try):\n\ngood training for computer interactivity and basic vocabulary skills at...\nhttp://www.pctots.com/infant-development.htm\n\nthen add...\nhttp://www.learningcompany.com/\nhttp://www.getreadytoread.org/content/view/101/317/\nhttp://www.sesameworkshop.org/sesamestreet/?scrollerId=games\nhttp://www.4thekidstoystore.com/edso.html

Talk to your church or business in the community.  Draw up a flyer to give them, giving the details of the trip and why it's important to go.  Offer to have your daughter come back and make a presentation afterwards about what she learned (especially good for a church that has kids' classes).  Check with your local politicians - city, county and state and make a pitch.  Have your daughter get ACTIVELY involved in finding her own sponsor.  It will come across better (i.e. she has an interest in getting there herself) and will teach her some responsibility.

write her a letter telling her that you love her and want to start new and would she be willing to start over and see where it goes from there. but what ever let her know that you love her and want things between you and her to change for the better. sometimes kids have to make the first move when there parent is not in the right state of mind adults sometimes forget that we can learn so much from our children , trust me my daughter taught me how to be humble and wow what an experience and she loves me very much and told me that i was stifling her by not letting her make mistakes for her own good and other great things that i thought i knew more then her and actually she really helped me a lot once i took off the blinders so sometimes kids have to help reshape the parents. lol
