can parents of a disabled child take and bring them into school until the aide arrives then leave?

it's really easy to judge these people as uncaring but maybe they can't wait until the aide arrives or they'd be late for work. many places fire people after a few tardies. then how would they support their disabled child?

I am not a doctor, I am a special education teacher.  So, my advise is not medical.  Yes, they absolutely can make wonderful parents.  Developmental disabilities can mean many different things.  If they have mild learning disabilities, a person would generally not even know they have special needs by speaking/interacting with them.  They have an abundance of support systems available for people with disabilities.  SSI is a main one, and no, that does not mean our tax dollars pay for their services.  They have incentives to work but at the same time keep some of their medical benefits.  There are services that come in and teach the needed skills, i.e. parenting, to make the transition into parenthood as easy as possible.  People with disabilities are some of the most caring individuals you will ever meet.  It may take them a little longer to grasp certain concepts, however with support groups, this is possible.  Check out microboards on the Internet, they are support groups of people who are centered around the individual with a disability.

When you say stay in daycare, do you mean a daycare center or like the "Y"? I use to do in home daycare and the longest the children were allowed to stay in care was up to the age of 12 years old.\n\nIf a parent had a child that wasn't trustworthy to stay home or go to after school, then I would let them come and stay with me as a favor to the parent.

We have kids at our school with feeding tubes, etc.\n\nOur district requires that the PARENT come in and train nursing staff, teachers, and EA's who will be working with the child, and then sign a waiver of liability.\n\nHowever, I am in NM. You really need to have your district's central special ed office check their lawbooks.

Under the Education of All Handicapped Education Act (1975) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (1997), parents must consent to having their child tested for a learning disability.  A good place to start would be to talk to the principal of the school your child goes to.

It is NOT against the law but there are education requirments that the child must meet later, many kids do not begin school until 6 so this is not terribly unusual but perhaps the child is going to be home educated.

Talk to the principal of the school.  I'm sure they can arrange something.\n\nSue them if they don't see things your way.

Most schools have an attendance policy. A charter school has its own rules. You need to enroller her in a regular school and make sure she can still get credit for what she has done. It would have helped if you mentioned her disability. As a student with a disability she can be suspended for 10 days after that there needs to be a manifest determination. This is a PET getting together to determine if the childs disability is the reason for the suspension.\nI am a special ed teacher and I know my special ed law

Have your child bring them home from school as they are assigned by the teacher.

I assume you are asking about what education is available for children with the disorder in Alabama. I am not familiar with Alabama's resources but as a parent of a profoundly mentally challenged child, I will tell you what I do know. \nThe best place to start is ask your pediatrician about resources. The mental health facility is a very good place to start. Depending on the child's age, your area may have something available like First Steps, which is an early intervention service for children with developmental delays available for children up to 3 years old. First Steps was wonderful for my daughter. \nAfter she turned 3, we were referred to a state-run facility that basically gave us a case manager and helped to identify the special needs for our child but after 3 years with them, we still have not been able to actually RECEIVE services because the waiting list is so long, then they go through freezes. I hope your state is not as backed up as ours is. \nAs far as education, public schools are required to provide an education to special needs children, per the Americans with Disabilities Act. The special needs child is given an IEP (individualed education plan) so that the child is taught what is appropriate for his/her abilities. The parent's involvement and input in the IEP is very important. If you do not agree with the IEP, you can change it. \n\nIndividuals with Disabilities Education Act:\n\nThe Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (formerly called P.L. 94-142 or the Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975) requires public schools to make available to all eligible children with disabilities a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment appropriate to their individual needs.\n\nIDEA requires public school systems to develop appropriate Individualized Education Programs (IEP's) for each child. The specific special education and related services outlined in each IEP reflect the individualized needs of each student.\n\nIDEA also mandates that particular procedures be followed in the development of the IEP. Each student's IEP must be developed by a team of knowledgeable persons and must be at least reviewed annually. The team includes the child's teacher; the parents, subject to certain limited exceptions; the child, if determined appropriate; an agency representative who is qualified to provide or supervise the provision of special education; and other individuals at the parents' or agency's discretion.\n\nIf parents disagree with the proposed IEP, they can request a due process hearing and a review from the State educational agency if applicable in that state. They also can appeal the State agency's decision to State or Federal court. For more information, contact:\n\nOffice of Special Education Programs\nOffice of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services\nU.S. Department of Education\n400 Maryland Avenue, S.W.\nWashington, D.C. 20202-7100\n\n\nI hope this helps. I know how hard it is with a special needs child and I wish you the best. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at jude31@yahoo.com.

This is not an ordinary case...... you can sue this administrator if you think it is necessary... but i think the best solution is to transfer to another school...... be careful......they hold the "power"......call the attention of the principal or the parents-teachers-association.... as soon as possible before its too late.... take action!!!!

Yes you should check in at the office and receive a pass. If you do that the school will know you're on campus and have permission to be there. Maybe if your schedule allows you can drop him off just before school starts, the aid should be there.

Try taking the advice given here. Be prepared to march down to the school a lot to try to get this taken care of. Your grandkids CAN learn! Then, if none of that works, consider homeschooling, or have the parents consider homeschooling, whichever is more appropriate. Like some of these teachers said, they are trained to educate regular student, not special children. I know a boy with FAS and a myriad of other diagnoses, and when he was eight years old, he snuck out of a locked campus and was halfway home before his grandma was called and told he was missing. He had walked about five miles. Homeschooling gives you the advantage of knowing your grandson's individual problems. There are so many different types of problems going on in a special ed class, that I don't blame the teacher for being overwhelmed. Most special ed kids excel once they start being taught at home because they are in an environment they know, with loving caregivers who understand the complexities of their own disorders, and are able to work at their own pace. There's no distractions like there are in a classroom. It just seems to work. There are several place you can turn to to learn about homeschooling kids with special needs. Check yahoo groups, there's a lot. I'm on HS-Plus, and it's a really good group. Lots of different disorders being dealt with, FAE/FAS is a big one, so you'd get lots of help. I homeschool my autistic pre-schooler, and will be homeschooling my 'normal' little one, and any others that come along. Contact me if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to talk to you some more.

Yes you have to have a document that allows you to seek medical treatment for them in the case of an emergency. You need their parents insurance information.

Check with local probate court if there is such a legality.  If child is a very responsible person, might be okay, unless that child is babysitting babies.  You know your child better than anyone.  How long would parents be out?  Most children that age are too immature to be left alone.
