So I met with ms.Dufor my guidance counsoler today and I have trouble with social skills so we thought of ideas. The idea we decided on is the school phycologist has lunch groups for kids and they work on social skills. There are typically 4-5 kids in each group and you play games and work on social and life skills. There is also typically a speech-language pathologist there too. It will take one or two weeks to take affect because they have to meet with ms thornquist who is my special educator in learning center and add it to my IEP. I am excited for lunch group. I had nothing to write so I wrote this. Also as a side note, I am NEVER seeing Dr.Hinchion again! All my doctors and teachers and my parents are fighting to get me help! So things aren't super bad after all because nobly believes the test!
Until next time,
Meredith
Lunch group sounds like a great idea. Who is eligible for lunch group?
ReplyDeleteIt is mostly kids who have disabilities or social issues that need more intense attention. But mostly kids who are in special education or have related services. You may have one or two kids at most who are neurotypical. I had Lunch group in elementy school and have lunch group when it possible with ms dufor. It sounds like fun.
DeleteSomething like that needs a good mix of people. The slightest imbalance can throw everything off.
DeleteThey tend to group kids with other kids they know or kids they think they will like and get along with.
DeleteThat's good.
DeleteYeah it is.
DeleteI'm glad lunch group may solve or atleast help some of your lunch related problems. I'm very glad that you don't have to see that doctor again and everyone especially your parents are fighting for you. Does this mean your mom is okay with you getting a hearing aid?
ReplyDeleteI am glad I don't have to see her ever again. She wasn't nice. I explained to my mom what hearing aids do and showed her what they look like and now she is ok with me getting them (hopefully I do!) I think after she saw me so upset yesterday to I think that made her understand how frustrating and isolating and saddening it is to not be able to hear and communicate accurately. By upset I mean yesterday first when we were having lunch I started crying a little bit and then when we left after going back and setting things strait I burst into tears again because I was so devastated and scared and thought that no one would believe me that there is hearing loss.
DeleteI felt that same way when my surgeon kept putting off my surgery and treating me like a little kid. I sobbed in his office,
DeleteThese kinds of things shouldn't happen,but they do. It's not right to deny someone care or put off a procedure for a very long time, or based on one test refuse to believe there is a problem. I am sorry that happened to you. Hopefully the surgery will go well.
DeleteI love that idea! Growing up as a child with undiagnosed autism and ADHD, I spent most lunch hours sitting alone, and I could have really used a group like that!
ReplyDeleteI have both ADHD and autism, as well as a lot of other stuff. Most of the time I am sitting alone or at least it feels that way so I'm excited for this lunch group.
