lillian....I think you are doing some of us a wonderful service by offering a SPED contribution. I am 100% confident in my ability to teach average, and advanced students, but some of my low little guys can leave me mystified. I feel like I'm a great teacher but unfortunatly, not enough of my undergrad did me much good in regards to my struggling students. The SPED teacher in my school is very caught up with "more severe" students than my problem ones, so I get ignored and left to my own devices when it comes to them. I think I've done a good job this year, but it's definitely comforting to know that there are a few people on the board to refer to if I need help! Thanks for lending us your expertise!
And Mrs G, I'm in your boat about it being less damaging to be tested than to guess and hope for the best. I'm filling out paperwork this weekend to get one of my students tested for speech, despite being frowned upon by my SPED teacher because "first graders often have speech problems that they don't need extra service for." I however, am noticing that the speech problem is causing her to suffer in reading and writing now. She writes things how they sound to her, so "th" often becomes "f." Her decoding skills are also suffering because she doesn't understand her own pronunciation of certain words. Gen. Ed. teachers in inclusion classrooms have it rough! Good luck with your situation.
