I got the paperwork from Goodnoe, we can use the school again for a fee of 40 dollars for the year, but they need a copy of our insurance.  ????

"You've Got Mail":
How To Effectively Communicate With Your School District


If your child is in special education, every conversation and meeting
with your school district is part of the "paper trail" that needs to
be created in order to track and monitor services, supports, and
changes to your child's IEP and programming.  Each school year adds
to your child's educational story and parent advocates need to know
how to create and maintain these important records.

This workshop will focus on teaching parents when, what, and how to
document conversations and meetings and how to ensure that
communications are accurate, factual, and clear.   What you say and
how you say it does matter, particularly in special education.

When:  Wednesday, September 28, 2005

Time:  6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Topics will include:

>  What should be done after an IEP meeting
>  How to communicate without emotions and why it's so important
>  Organizing your thinking and translating your thoughts into writing
>  Letters vs. documents; telephone conversations vs. e-mail
>  The importance of the written word and the tone that accompanies it

Instructor:  Debra Schafer, B.A., Special Education Consultant

Cost:  $40 per person; $55 per parent team

Where:  Platinum Corporate Center, Newtown, PA

Details:

>  Parents will be asked to forward one copy (no originals) of a
recent one-page letter or short document that they've recently
written to their district along with registration information.
Documents will be returned with editorial comments.  Identifying
information may be deleted if preferred.   Please keep the document
to one page or less.

>  Pre-registration is required and confirmation of registration and
directions will be forwarded upon receipt.  Refunds will be made only
if requested three (3) days prior to the workshop date.  No refunds
for non-attendance on the day of the workshop.

Registration:

>  Send name ... address ... telephone ... e-mail address ... the
grade of your child and your home school district ... one copy of a
recent district communication ... and registration fee to:

Hi, everyone.  Since there's so many more experienced families in the
group than mine, I was wondering if anyone from our group has been
doing the SCD & what results they've seen compared to doing the gfcf
diet. (Our son has been cf for 14 months & gf for 7 months).  I was
planning on switching to scd in a week.  Thanks.  Also, are we still
meeting the first Thurs. in October?  Louise

Louise,

We did SCD for a year.  By far it gave us the most relief to GI issues.  We are
now working on switching over to BED(Body Ecology Diet) which concentrates on
replacing good gut flora which seems to be a more healing diet if the gut is in
bad shape.

Hello Listmates,

I know a couple people have stated they are seeing Dr. Peter Procuik,
would anyone be willing to email a family that is interested in seeing
him?  They want to make sure he is o.k. before spending the money to
see him.

You can email me off list.

Thanks,

Lisa Thomassen

Looks like a great conference in Myrtle Beach (Bradstreet & Buttar on
Biomedical, Gutstein on RDI, Carbone on VB...).  A little too far, but if
you go to the link, the list on the left side has additional links to good
information.

Amy

Dr. Procuik is a DAN doctor.

Are you looking for a neurologist or a developmental pediatrician?

Dear Friends,

 

Some of us have just returned from the National Autism Conference put on by this group.  It was exceptional.  Please read below as there are potentially serious consequences to our kids as well as those who are at risk for vaccine injury (health care personnel and those in the military, just to name a few).  Whether you believe that the mercury in the vaccines played a role in your child’s autism or not, these bills really do threaten our children’s rights!!!

 

Thanks

Elsie McHale

Subject: Parents Swarming Capitol Hill with Phone Calls

 

PRESS RELEASE   For Immediate Release:  November 15, 2005    Contact: Rita Shreffler, NAA (Nixa, MO) 417-818-9030 Wendy Fournier, NAA (Portsmouth, RI) 401-632-7523 PARENTS SWARMING CAPITOL HILL WITH PHONES CALLS; CHILDREN’S RIGHTS ARE ON THE LINE PHARMA-FRIENDLY POLITICIANS THREATEN TO STEAL AWAY CHILDREN’S RIGHTS WITH MULTIPLE BILLS WASHINGTON DC – Advocacy organizations kicked off a new campaign today that promises to over-load Capitol Hill’s phone lines. The Power of Parents Call-in Campaign hopes to stop pharma-friendly legislation in its tracks. For years, politicians like Senator Bill Frist and Judd Gregg have routinely inserted language that removes liability from vaccine-makers, which ultimately eases safety guidelines and dismisses injuries some children suffer from vaccines. In 2002, an anonymous party inserted the now-famous secret rider to the Homeland Security bill, a provision that gave Eli Lilly and vaccine manufacturers liability protection from a toxin used in vaccines. The rider was later repealed. But sources in Washington say that the liability language is back and fiercer than ever. Over ten pieces of legislation now contain liability-protection language that will slam the door on children injured by vaccines. Some language is expected to enter the appropriations committee. If it passes, the language cannot be removed. Just yesterday, Dr. Paul Offit, a friend to big pharma, widened his own PR campaign by stating in The Hill that the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) needed updated. He proposed the removal of what’s called “opt out,” a right that a claimant has to enter civil court if the NVICP doesn’t provide what’s necessary for care. However, the NVICP has been updated several times over the past decade. Some of the more common injuries have been removed from the table, ensuring less awards to claimants. The Department of Justice has been given more fire-power to fight cases that enter the NVICP, and many claimants call the program a complete waste of time. To protect the opt-out, which keeps the NVICP in check, and to prevent other legislative language that destroys children’s rights and loosens safety guidelines, parents will call their senators and congressmen now through Thursday.
