web site
By pjm

HI
I read your web site, looked at a couple of different areas and thought wow! I wish I had more parents like you.

That said here's what I think, I think special ed teachers would most probably read it and think you're
wonderful ( I'm a sped) I admit to reading it quickly but did not see specifically what your child's disability way....
I think that many regular ed teachers will partially read you web site or quickly skim the first page and that's that...some will ignore your web page totally and some will think you're trying to tell them how to do their job and thus resent you and your web page

and a small number will read it and take it to heart.

I think that you will need to continue to be your son's best advocate and that you will continue to speak up loud and clear, which may include ranting and raving at times or even getting an advocate. I think that the higher grade level your child goes in school the less flexable you'll find his teachers to be. I'm not saying there aren't any good teachers out there that will work closely with you and your son I'm just saying that 1/2 will and 1/2 won't - if you're lucky...when you find a good teacher praise him/her to death, let them know how much you appreciate them and pick their brains to death on who you can next place your child with...hand pick his teachers if you can...your child's success will depend on getting the right mix for him....

ok I'm rambling here....but you've hit a touchy subject with me...and that is how regular ed teachers do and don't treat special needs kids...I've seen it all believe me.
