Update on Mackenzie   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #333 of 1355 |

Hello,
Thanks for the welcome. I took some advice and gave a few pages on SM
to Mackenzie's teacher today. She is going to take it home this
weekend and read it over (She does not teach on Friday's) I think she
was interested in reading it.
I got another report today that the teacher was ready to call us to
come get mackenzie. She refused to sit in her chair and would not
talk of participate in anything. She got throug the day though. I am
wondering if tiredness will fuel her SM. She was tired and cranky
today to begin with. I will keep you updated in our progress and I am
sure I will have lots of questions too.
One side note, does anyone have an EA (Educational assistant) working
with your child in school. I am thinking this will help mack and I am
not sure if I am justified in pushing the school for one. I know we
have to go though some assesments first. We are just in the beginning
stages with this issue. I am so worried and my mind is thinking ahead
of some possible aids for her. Have any of you volunteered in your
child's class and did it help or hurt the situation. Any advice is
very very appreciated. Thanks so much
Hugs
Amanda

Dear Amanda: A comment to three of your points - if I may - She refused to sit in her chair and would not talk of participate in anything. I doubt if Mackenzie...

I've helped in my daughter's class and I think it just gave her a crutch and slowed down her progress. My daughter is a freshman in high school this year and...

Dear Amanda: The school is not able to arrange for this type of diagnosis - you will need to speak to your family physician (who may not be familiar or even...

the school may have some suggestions for you but ultimately you'll have to set up therapy. It's not a bad idea to get some suggestions from your dr or ...
