Jmarr replied to Crystal's discussion Anyone else have a kid with sensory, gifted, or asperger's issues?"Normally, ESE kids would transition into school from early steps, but if the child is over three, the process starts with child find. I don't have any experience with child find, so I am not sure what exactly…"

Crystal joined Stacey S. Way's group
Parents of Special needs children

I like the idea of a…"

My 2 youngest love ExplorationsV. They did summer camp there for two summers. I do understand your frustration about getting help. Child find was a joke to me for all of my children. The…"
Jmarr replied to Crystal's discussion Anyone else have a kid with sensory, gifted, or asperger's issues?"Renee...I have run into that too. Doctors, and almost every book on the subject, say that Asperger's kids DON'T have speech delays. That is so ridiculous. Can't a kid have multiple issues...or can't there be some exceptions to…"
Jmarr replied to Crystal's discussion Anyone else have a kid with sensory, gifted, or asperger's issues?"Been there. At one time or another my son was labeled mildly autistic, dyspraxic and ADD. He also scores high on the sensory profiles, and on the Asperger's one too. He has had lower muscle tone and speech delays as well. The latest…"
