oppose the special education regulations
 

Hello Everyone..  I am mother of 9 years old who is deaf, adhd, and down syndrome child.

I oppose

  •  To elimination of parent rights of everything related to special regulations changes.  My child depends on me to support him whatever he needs to do.
  • Functional behavior assessment
  • To  elimination of short term goals.
  • Interpreting services.  It must be include those who can't speak not only who are deaf/hard of hearing services. It help other students who can use the communication of sign language also help develop their language. I still think of all kids who really need to use sign language to communicate no matter what..

 

PLease don't change the  most important special education regulations even though those who speak out ..  We will not allow to see the children suffer for anything..  Children need us help their education better way..

Sincerly yours,

Lisa Parker
