The way to avoid this is to get training. You can find free training in Article 7 on Insource.com. You can even get the training online. I recommend this for every teacher in Indiana. It's as much for a teacher's protection as a parent's, since teachers bear the brunt of responsibility.J.Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692391393368684174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364807325429359994.post-46060470894313373442011-06-07T05:35:38.941-07:002011-06-07T05:35:38.941-07:00Good luck, relatively new follower.

I would sit at the ARD as the teacher but be advocating for the family and child. I look forward to reading more of your blog.

We have a 4 year old son with autism and a 2 year old with ADHD. Both boys are not potty trained. They both have a tendency to disrobe and worse yet they get into their diapers and play in it! We invented an escape proof sleeper that zips in the back and keeps them out of their diaper. www.ikidsfashion.com Thanks a lot!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818054869331818800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364807325429359994.post-49276961010067694102010-10-09T13:31:39.991-07:002010-10-09T13:31:39.991-07:00It is always good to see Wisconsin in print!

Unfortunately in our area, administration is a much more jumbled business than those straightforward descriptions of what admin should be. :) We have many. There are director's above them. When you sit down at a conference, there is one who may or may not deal directly with your child. I wish the system wasn't so top heavy. It would simplify things.Sigh.J.Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692391393368684174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364807325429359994.post-80958308659450674152010-09-28T15:06:49.356-07:002010-09-28T15:06:49.356-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.J.Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692391393368684174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364807325429359994.post-28556367610114014222010-09-28T02:27:25.889-07:002010-09-28T02:27:25.889-07:00Nice blogpost, template is cool.
