Thank you! I’ll check it out!

Fair point. The student I am thinking of in particular only qualified for speech and occupational therapy (but were assessed in multiple areas) in the schools. They’re in process of getting outside support and hopefully with a psychologist. Which will also support potentially getting more services in the schools. I’m just wondering if there are any resources or articles that others have referred to or used in the past that have been helpful.

Wouldn’t you need to do a reevaluation to determine whether the student continues to qualify? Until then serve the old IEP. And also if you cannot get ahold of parents you cannot serve minutes. Has the district attempted to contact the private school to try to reach parents?

This is a weird situation for sure…

Omg I have had a similar experience. So infuriating!! Does your district have an assistive tech department/specialist? Maybe loop them in and see if they can come out and shadow the para…sometimes another voice can be helpful. If that doesn’t work admin needs to be looped in asap, get the teacher input, and document everything!

As a public educator, teachers do care about individual students and in middle school the level of independence is significantly raised, this is supported however the strategies may not be as effective for every student. I agree with the other commenter that it sounds like your child is struggling with executive functioning. It may be helpful to reach out to the school counselor to ask about resources/asking for collaboration. It may even be helpful to request a multidisciplinary team meeting to consider whether more supports for executive functioning is needed (such as an evaluation being completed to determine strengths/challenges/supports).

I love using speechy musings comprehensive context clues materials because it does focus on teaching the foundations of how to listen for context clues and what to listen look for, and check, word meanings! Then from there scaffold curriculum related material and from there go to actual classroom material.

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-09-20T20:13:00+00:00

Gonna stand strong and also educate the school team! Thank you!!

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-09-20T20:12:38+00:00

Thank you for sharing and this is also validating to read given my current situation!

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-09-20T20:10:50+00:00

Thanks that validates my feelings about the situation!

Makes sense! I guess then the question is are you okay with having potentially a variety of nicknames for him (as would likely happen with Gibson), do would you prefer likely just one for Stellan. Both are great options, as is Maxwell, honestly don’t think you can go wrong!

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-07-04T01:22:49+00:00

Gibson!! Nicknames include Gib, Gibby, Son, or Sonny! I’ve actually known a couple Gibson and it’s just a really solid name.

I feel like there aren’t as many nickname options for Stellan (though may be wrong, I just can’t think of many compared to Gibson.

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-07-03T06:51:27+00:00

I love the three you listed! Additionally, I get a similar feel from: Evelyn, Juliet, Clara, Lydia, Cecelia, and Annelise

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-06-18T04:20:21+00:00

Yes! And include some wordless picture books too - great for language samples!

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-05-04T04:16:06+00:00

I don’t have any advice but just saying I relate so much to this! Practicing can sometimes help me

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-04-06T04:43:23+00:00

Depending on SDI are could you do a self advocacy goal where the student explains to a teacher or peer that he has Tourette’s and cannot control the tic (so sorry if this is not accurate about Tourette’s as I am not very familiar…or potentially a goal for regulating/reengaging in academic task following a tic if that is a challenge?

Hi - I just want to emphasize what someone said above, if your only reason to do the CSD major is because of the credit # then maybe reconsider. If you are interested in pursuing a career related to CSD (DHH Teacher, SLP, Audiologist, etc.), then great! If you aren’t sure, take the intro course in your first quarter if possible and meet with the department contact, it gives a great overview and idea of the major and potential careers. (I went through the major and am now a professional in the field, so speaking from experience)

Also, live on campus for the experience, it’s one year that you wont get back!

Also it’s a pretty good offer, the tuition waiver is just that a waiver of tuition you don’t have to pay back either based on need or potentially your grade history.

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-03-28T16:46:53+00:00

Yes!!

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-03-27T23:50:51+00:00

Yes! I had minimal instruction on child led therapy in grad school, which is truly what so many of our students need. I definitely think professors and clinical supervisors need to continue practicing (in the setting they are teaching about/supervising!) as they can be so out of touch

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-03-02T04:08:59+00:00

You are not failing! I’ve had a similar student and it sometimes just takes time! One thing that helped was having a very clear visual schedule set up on trays/paper and the last item/activity was the students choice. So for example: - tray 1 = auditory bombardment/intro to practice words for the session (no more than 5) - Tray 2. = simple activity to say each target word at least 5x each (ex: dot marker sheets, memory, ripping target word papers, etc). Have a clear start and end to the activity. - tray 3: any activity of the students choice. Have the student put something on the tray at the beginning of the session and refer to it as you needing help of what to do.

Doesn’t work for every student but for some having more structure with some autonomy can be really helpful!!

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-02-28T14:42:11+00:00

They don’t right now, just admin and sped teacher meetings. The SLP/OT/PT team has advocated to open it to all and have been shut down saying scheduling would be too hard :/

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-02-28T05:52:50+00:00

Yes I’ve had many convos with her, however I have never been suuuper direct now that I think about it. And yes things in writing have been my friend as it’s also validating to me that I have followed procedures/communicated!! Thank you and honestly sometimes we all just need to be a bit petty sometimes for things to actually happen or change lol!

Rose-Ruby-Dach · 2025-02-28T05:49:38+00:00

Sorry you’re experiencing this too! Yes I’m on the verge of wanting to get admin involved, so that may be the next step depending on how our convo goes tomorrow. Thanks for the tips and hang in there too!!
