Parent Support - Classes
Last chance this school year to attend these award-winning and nationally recognized parent classes. What parent couldn't use more tools in their toolkit? Parents who have attended the Parent Project classes have told us:
  • "Whether you're having any challenges with your child or not, every parent should get this information! We loved the updates on issues facing our children today and what to do about it."
  • "We learned great 'tweaks' to our interactions with our teen that smoothed out our home climate. Fewer arguments and rolled eyes at our house!"
  • "It provided concrete help when our child began to get more argumentative and we began this downward spiral of confrontation. Things are much more peaceful at home now."

Masterbation: Self Stimulating Behaviors At School

-

SELF STIMULATING BEHAVIORS AT SCHOOL.  Underwear Matters.  Trust me on this.  Over the past couple years, I have had numerous teachers shyly approach me for consultation, looking for strategies on for their students who are engaging in "self-stimulation" during class, at school, and even on field-trips. In one case, just finding the appropriate pair of underwear solved the problem. Basketball shorts and no underwear was not working out so well... but once discussed, it was a trail and error and a simple fix.  Many times, the teachers biggest concern is how to discuss the problem with the parent. Sometimes the behavior is suspected but not as obvious... But it is always better to have a conversation with the parent as soon as possible. To ignore the issue can be extremely problematic and can create habits that later will be difficult to break.  I think it is important to be mindful of parents cultures when bringing up the topic with them. Initially, it'...

Doug C. vs. Hawaii: IEP parent involvement

-
Image
The IEP court case of Doug C. vs. Hawaii When a student is found eligible for special education, an individual education plan (IEP) is developed and updated annually. Special education teachers have traditionally sworn by those dates, allowing no room for flexibility. However, a landmark case (Doug C. Vs Hawaii DOE) in  Summer of 2013, courts ruled that parent involvement is more important than exceeding timelines for annual or reevaluation deadlines.  The case began when a parent requested a meeting to be rescheduled due to illness but because of the school was going to go over timeline, school staff met without him present and made decisions about their child's program. The IEP team told parents that they had decided that their 18-year old son with autism was to transition from a private placement to the public home school.  Parents went and lost at due process but  found victory in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Despite Hawaii's Depar...
