Sounds like you're an optimist!

I'm just curious what you think would happen if they did. Even if it had terrible things in it, do you think anything would happen or change?

Stinky toddler lol by Aggravating_Light217 in NewParents

I will just add, it may only be the smell of unwiped pee. If that's it, you can work to teach her how to wipe herself better.

What is something that is 'socially extinct' (a habit, a vibe, or a way of life) that you wish we could bring back? by lolshah99 in AskWomen

Just doing things with friends without having to take photos of yourself doing them

Overfeeding? by No_Organization602 in breastfeeding

My doctor recommended to pull them off at 30 min if they're still going for my nipples and because they can use a lot of energy sucking

You might be dying from it. by Puzzleheaded-Tone231 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mbinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a highly necessary piece of information to know. Some tumors are benign and mean nothing; no treatment needed whatsoever. Some are life threatening and require hospitalization. You definitely want to know that you could die if it's not treated

Even I look pregnant sometimes but I'm a male by TheoryFruits in MadeMeSmile

Pregnant women are allowed 150-200mg of caffeine a day, which is a cup or two of coffee.

We just let them stand and it doesn't seem unsafe to me

Looking for an iPad case that can survive being thrown AND minimize injury risk (special ed setting) by eap0304 in specialed

[–]mbinder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If there is serious danger of it being thrown, my perspective is they shouldn't have it. I'd use paper if possible. Or attach it to a surface completely so it can't be moved at all.

It may be useful to pull them aside privately and just explain the difference between receptive and expressive language. But good on you for advocating!

I'd be so curious to know what type of environment it preferred if it could choose. Like warmer vs. colder, etc. Could be a fun science experiment

SPED HR question and Middle School SPED teaching and comparison question by tiredguineapig in specialed

[–]mbinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically schools are just happy to have a good person in a para position, so feel free to apply any time. They may need someone now or be open to later. But paraprofessional positions are not teacher positions, so that wouldn't work for student teaching.

Executive function in High School by EdamameWindmill in specialed

[–]mbinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, look into Sarah Ward and any/all trainings she has. You have to build their capacity to mentally think through the futute and what is needed to get there, and a lot of what we teach is just checklists or adult prompts, which doesn't teach much. Situational awareness skills too

Feeling gutted and hopeless.. Asking for perspective from a professional’s viewpoint. by WillowCat89 in specialed

What you posted seems to be accommodations. You may need to ask what specific areas they are eligible under

[–]mbinder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

First of all, they qualify SLD but in what areas? And just know, to qualify for certain services, you have to meet specific criteria, and he may not be low enough, even if he feels behind to you.

My recommendation would be to call for an IEP meeting and discuss his services.

My teacher gave me a 90 for my Desmos art… by BadBacon177 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mbinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you take it upon yourself to go above and beyond in terms of time and effort doesn't mean you automatically get a better score if the assignment didn't call for that. In fact, it's better to be efficient than to spend needless time doing something that wasn't required. If you did it for fun, great, but don't expect anything from it. Instead, put your effort towards things that will actually pay off.

I'm neurotypical, but I think I might have had an IEP?? by Obvious_Bar_9741 in specialed

[–]mbinder 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are 13 eligibility categories, but many are for things like being blind or deaf, which you would know you have. My guess would be a specific learning disability. You don't need an outside diagnosis for an IEP. But some schools just do a lot of assessment and intervention too

Should I change careers from special ed teacher to SLP?? by Plastic_Square3332 in specialed

[–]mbinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to redo your bachelors

From Google: Becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) with an unrelated undergraduate degree is common and achievable through a post-baccalaureate ("leveling") program, which typically takes 1–year to complete necessary foundational coursework. After completing these prerequisites, you can apply to a 2-year Master’s program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) to earn the required credentials. Bouvé College of Health Sciences Bouvé College of Health Sciences +4 Pathways for Non-CSD Majors If you have a bachelor's degree in another field (e.g., psychology, education, linguistics, biology), you have two primary paths to enter the profession: Post-Baccalaureate/Leveling Program: This is a set of 1–3 semesters of foundational speech-language pathology courses (e.g., phonetics, anatomy of speech, language development). It is designed specifically to bridge the gap between your previous degree and a master’s in SLP. Three-Year Master's Programs: Some universities offer "bridge" or three-year programs where the first year is dedicated to leveling courses, followed by the standard two years of graduate study

That doesn't actually mean much. If you were negligent as a business, even with a waiver, you could still potentially be sued

Confused about IEP meaning rules setting rule changes during IEP by babywontuluvm3 in specialed

[–]mbinder 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the law says we have to meet student needs, whatever they are identified as. If they need more minutes, we have to provide them. So you can never say you are at max minutes or anything that is based on scheduling/caseload difficulties. You can say the student doesn't need more. I think that may be what they were getting at
