It depends on the severity of the child's disability. I have spinal muscualr atrophy and was appointed an aide until I was in grade 3 or so. I didn't really NEED one, however the schoolboard felt it necessary to have one around. \n\nPersonally, I think it is good to NOT have the aide or parent around all the time. Let a kid be a kid. Sure being disabled is going to make things different, and kids might approach him/her differently... but all kids are going to find something different about someone. Adults do it too.\n\nBest thing to do, is ask the kid. Does he/she feel ok about being left alone for a while. Does the kid have any friends? Let the friends watch over him. Kids are suprisingly good at caring for others. I know I had lots of little girls who offered to help me get my jacket on and off , put my books in my bag/locker, and that kept me company waiting before school.\n\nDon't shelter the kid, unless it is absolutely necessary and because of some health issue. Alone time and exploration of normal socializing and experiences is necessary for everyone. Disabled or not.\n\nHe/She may grow up stronger for it.

help,\n\nI'm not sure you'll find many articles out there that addresses ADD and/or learning disabilities as an inherited condition.  I've never seen any, so I can't begin to answer what the chances are for a child born to one or both parents who have suffered the same.\n\nI would say that all one can do is to pay close attention to the child's development, and to take quick action if any developmental problems present itself.  I know this isn't much help...best of luck.

Give the 1st website a look and then give them a holler.\n\nThe 2nd site: Florida's Transition Project for Infants, Young Children and Their Families assists local communities in establishing trained teams to develop a seamless system of transition among agencies providing services to young children with disabilities, birth to six years of age, and their families.\n\nGood Luck!

I think there is a lot of confusion about this issue.  The radicalists shout  "We are people and there is nothing wrong with disability" ....OK fair enough.  I dont have a problem with disability or disabled people.  But why do others need to be born that way if there is a cure?  Its like saying Cancer is a fact of life, we have the drugs to treat it but we wont do it cos cancer sufferers are people too!  It is not logical.  Disbled people should be a real part of the community, REAL inclusion, not just lip service and to be able to fulfill their potential.  But if I had the choice of gene therapy and a child free of disablilites I would want to take the therapy.  There is surely no question that disabilty causes suffering whether that be physical, mental or emotional, and I would want to avoid that for any child of mine if I could.

my former highschool (and most highschools in the area) have a program/club called Partners Club, where not only kids with disabilitys (from mild to severe) can get together and do fun things. but also mainstream kids! one year i volunteered to coach bowling for most of the special education children, i'm not very good at bowling, but it was SO much fun!\nthey put all kinds of activities and events together! you should try to do something like this.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL HE STARTS SCHOOL!\n\nEarly intervention is key in cases of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Nonverbal Learning Disorder, and delayed speech.\n\nPlease ask her to take the following steps immediately:\n\nFind a pediatrician that specializes in children with developmental disabilities.\n\nContact the school system for a complete evaluation (this is free, and could have been before the child trained 3!).\n\nThe school system will choose a team of professionals to evaluate the child, including, but not limited to a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, a physical therapist, a school adjustment counselor, a school psychologist, a teacher and an expert in special education.  His parents  will be part of the team, and they may bring any experts they so choose to the team meetings.\n\nThe child's new pediatrician will submit a recommendation for the services the child needs.  The child may require an independent evaluation by additional specialists (pediatric neurologist, etc. to develop a treatment plan.\n\nMake sure that the team adopts the recommendations of his pediatrician and specialists in their entirety; appeal the team's decision, if necessary.\n\nThe team will develop an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that specifies the services to be provided and the frequency of the provision, as well as the modifications that will be made to "regular" education to accommodate him.\n\nHis parents have the right to accept or reject the IEP, in whole or in part, and appeal same, in whole or in part.  If they choose to appeal and another, independent evaluation is required, the school must pay for the evaluation.\n\nThe school system is required BY LAW to provide early intervention services beginning at age 3, so he will probably begin in a special program, immediately.\n\nThis is a very complex subject not easily dealt with in this forum, however the above is a start.  DON'T WAIT!

I have to agree. When I was a kid I watched Smurfs, Fraggle Rock, Thundercats, He-Man & She-Ra, David the Knome.. I could go on. The shows my girls watch today are sometimes a little vial with their gas and booger jokes. With the exception of SpongeBob, I think it's all crap.

Where will it end? Start with the babies with the most severe disabilities, then those with lesser disabilities, keep going until we achieve a master race of sameness.\n\nI doubt there is any going back. It will be done in the name of saving money, but let’s be honest. Many in modern societies simply do not want the inconvenience, the bother of dealing with anybody different, anybody who may need a little extra care. \n\nIf the churches won’t stand up for the most vulnerable among us, who will? \n\nVery sad.

Some people are under the (incorrect) belief that comics are for kids. The stories are far more deep than most people understand without having read them.

I had a wonderful experience with ECI in Missouri. They had a wonderful program in the town where we lived. This was also several years ago. Funding changes all things unfortunately. It really depends on where you live and the people providing the services. You must be self informed and demanding if necessary now days. Also I recommend that you join local  programs or boards with any relation to the disability of your child. I wish you well. Good luck! Ask, Ask, Ask, Search, Search, Search. I hope your needs are met.

Mentally/physically challenged children are placed in Special Education classes as well as Mainstream. Some also have emotional behavior disorders. Each child's particular challenge may vary from the next child's. One child may have Down's Syndrome while another is Autistic.\n\nSometimes they work together on projects and sometimes they work alone.  Sometimes the assistant teachers work one on one with these kids.  They may watch movies. Some may eat lunch inside the classroom.  The teacher may help feed them or help them to the bathroom. Some may be walked to the cafeteria or to a certain class by a teacher. Some are able to walk to a mainstream class alone.They are also escorted to their own buses.  A physical therapist may visit the classroom to work with these children.\n\nFor two years, I  worked with these kids from first grade through twelfth grade as a Subsitute Teacher's Aide.  I do not know if the school has special classes for the preschoolers or kindergartners as I was never assigned to any.

I believe I have too much of an impact on my children to be concerned with an impact from South Park. Out of respect I won't allow explicit episodes but the ones that are on regular television are ok. You have to know that child and if their weakness. Example won't let my children watch MTV or BET or VH1. When they watch certain South Park episodes they are like wow

My only experience with this is in wound care.  I can't really think of anything it could offer a child with developmental delays.  If the person recommending this isn't an M.D. or similar, be really, really carful to read as much as possible before you invest a fortune.
