They still evaluated her LEARNING compared to her peers instead of receiving a fair and equal education compared to her peers. It can be confusing...even as I typed that sentence I was wondering if I had it right!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660924378036523017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506947608574807050.post-33077502802491230802012-10-29T16:19:07.477-07:002012-10-29T16:19:07.477-07:00Thank you so much!

It's probably my negative Nelly but it seems that schools (NOT ALL!) don't want to bother if they can get a health plan.laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660924378036523017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506947608574807050.post-15442373364584552012012-10-29T08:07:26.745-07:002012-10-29T08:07:26.745-07:00It sounds like they are confused between 504 and I...It sounds like they are confused between 504 and IDEA. Exactly how a non functional batch of beta cells is a minor issue is beyond me but then what do I know I only have two T1d kids too.<br /><br />Nice job of advocating for not only your kids but every other T1D kid that will come thorugh the school. <br />Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411395744352827620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506947608574807050.post-45980110908482796792012-10-29T03:10:25.510-07:002012-10-29T03:10:25.510-07:00I just found your blog via Kerri Sparling (sixunti...I just found your blog via Kerri Sparling (sixuntilme) and I want to congratulate you on your efforts. I have had T1 for 27 years, am a mom, and a special education teacher. I have had two different children with T1 in two schools I have worked in. One did not have any written accommodations (it was a private school) and the other had an IEP for a medical paraprofessional to be with her all day (she was just starting Kindergarten). I personally believe a 504 is the way to go and wish my mom had known about 504 plans when I was going through school! Good luck with everything!agellersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744516783131312420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506947608574807050.post-85984982446350018432012-10-28T22:36:31.170-07:002012-10-28T22:36:31.170-07:00I thought for a split second of not going for it b...I thought for a split second of not going for it because the school would have absolutely done (and do) everything to support the girls. But I knew there was something there that was being overlooked and I didn't like it. And WHAT IF? Ya know. I've seen a lot of horror stories of school not even letting kids test BG in the classroom, etc so I consider myself lucky. It was a really good learning experience and maybe will help some kid in the future.laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660924378036523017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506947608574807050.post-85766071549363176642012-10-28T22:32:14.065-07:002012-10-28T22:32:14.065-07:00Woot!

Every parent should bookmark this page. <br /><br />Like you, I'm dealing with a school that is nice to me. Unlike you, it has not occurred to me to stand up for my child above and beyond that niceness. Now I know how to be a functioning adult.
