I have a grade one student who is ASD, He doesn't like writing, but he completes the assignments very quickly, I need a social communication goal and an academic needs goal.

I was in special ed. To be honest with you, I grew tired of endless packets, missing time in real classes, and endless testing. I couldn't read, and that meant that I couldn't do anything else, yet I kept passing. We need an IEP that stops at a skill like that and doesn't overload the kid with coloring activities. I would like it if they'd make it easier for us to attend small colleges or junior colleges, whatever you wish to call them. I could have been an Elementary School Teacher with two or so extra years in college. I'm usually fine in literature classes. I struggle with math partly because I have no knack for it, and the other reason is because they experimented on me, and so I have no mathematical intuition. My memory is bad from so much abuse and trauma. I know you guys don't like to call CPS. I've seen the horror of it, too. My grandparents should have taken me, but my dad is great at talking and charming authority. He eventually was turned in to CPS because he wouldn't pick me up from school. Also, I started acting odd like peeing in a tube on the playground, getting aggressive with other students, screaming when I barely spoke to anyone, but I passed the tests because of places like PH went to. Dad dumped me with my mom as quickly as possible. I know you see a lot of that. My mom just needed help. The special ed teachers would tidy me up before school. People are cruel in school though, let me tell you.

It seems to me that working for school and student would be a conflict of interest

[@catherinewhitcher]

It’s actually the opposite… I don’t have a conflict of interest. I reduce conflict between schools and home, which results in a much better IEP experience for everyone. Sometimes schools hire me. Sometimes families hire me. No matter who hires me… results are the same… IEPs that work!
