I'm not sure, but your testing if done right should last for 3 or 4 years.

Check with the office when you find out where they will take the testing
results from. I know that my son's testing did. His is just now needing
redone.

Part of it is that with Learning disabilties and ADHD sometimes you can
make adaptions in your learning that you don't need the help any more.
So the testing proves you don't really have the disability anymore.

Really? I thought because I have ADHD I have a learning disability and that I will never get better and that it will always be hard for someone like me to understand anything because I am so abnormal and slow at everything I do in my life. All because I can never stay organized, and keep a regular sleep pattern, I am constantly distracted by cute animals. Keeping a routine or schedule really makes like So BORING FOR ME. That is why it is so hard for someone like me to keep one. Or I just seem to comprehend things more differently than the rest of the class. I also find humor in somethings and people are like, that is not even funny. It is like a different perspective I have with things. So there is something very wrong with me to the point that It will not go away ever ever ever never ever. It should be a well known disease.
I have had resource specialist since elementary school all the way to high school. I have two words for the effort the specialist put in to help me.
EPIC FAIL
Adaptions in my education= EPIC FAIL
How can that go away?

I passed my classes! And they were so hard! I feel better and that it was not a waste of time after all!

It might not ever go away. But for one thing, I can tell you point blank
that it has definately gotten better.

1. You just quoted some of your teacher's from grade school.
2. You may not get organized the way most people do. But I would venture
to guess that if you really think about it, you know exactly were most
of the important things are.

Next I find one other really big thing about you. You will never be boring,
and you are truely intelligent.

I can tell you for a fact there are lots of folks with no organization skills, to
their thinking. And when they went to school they had resource in their
background. But honestly to this day they are functioning better and more
efficiently than many of the brightest in the country.

A. For just one reason they had to fight for everything they got.
B. Someone or somebody thought they were important. Told them they could do what they put their mind to.

And Sharla you tell us some fantastic things, not sure what field your in.
But when your done your going to be fantastic in it.

And I can tell you point blank I know the young man that is just like you.
He is my 23 year old. He started with preschool services.

1. I was told he was mentally retarded. Because he couldn't talk.
a. I politely told the gentlemen that was trying to explain, it was okay
I understood. Because he couldn't say more than 10 words at 3. THat
he had to be classified this way.

2. That it was also okay, because he would get three years of help before
kindergarten. And hopefully at kindergarten would classify as speech delayed
only.

a. To say the least the gentlemen wanted to know how come I was so calm and collected about it.
a. I told him the parents magazine had this in it just a month or so before.
1. He sent his staff out to find that magazine, for that very article,
a was the only parent that had ever told him it was just a title. Not my son.

3. My son is severely ADHD, his favorite carton charactor is/was Batman.
And to this day his 1st grade teachers comments still get told to some parents. She asked me what I did to stop his climbing? I asked what she
meant. She said, Till this day, I could see him climb 6 feet to the top. And
jump or fall back to ground, and climb right back up. All day. Today he
sit in his chair.

A. I said, thank you, you just told me that putting him on ADHD medicine
was the right choice. I had waited till after one day of school to see if they could see a change too.

So the moral of this is, I can relate to you very much. My son is just like you.
He also has some very strong struggles. I really wish I could write a book.
I have 3 son's with three very different disabilities and they are turning into success stories.

Sorry, this wasn't my time.

But you can do it. Just set up what you need.

You stated it perfectly, YOU ARE DOING IT!!!!


I always love it when I hear of another success story.

Donna

[bizi]

thank you for sharing your son's story donna,
it is very heart warming.
((((HUGS)))))
bizi
Sharla, you are doing great! congratulations on passing your classes!!!!!!

[Dmom3005]

Thanks Bizi

I really like to tell about my boys. And even give stories about some
of my really hard cases that have done some wonderful things.

But sometimes I feel like I've taken somebodies place in here when I do that. But I felt so connected to Sharla I wanted her to understand why I relate to her so much.

My son is in his last semester of college. Or at least for his first degree.

Wow, I can honestly say I never thought he would go for more than one.
And the really neat thing is I will have a middle of the year graduate,
and a end of the year graduate.

We get to have two graduation parties this year. I need to locate a place
for these parties. My house just isn't the right place for either celebration.

Its to messy anymore.
