In California, there is a Supported Life conference every year, it is for
people who have developmental disabilities. It is so incredible to see how
far we have come in the last 30 years. People with Down syndrome were once
thought to be too "retarded" to be educable, and now there are many
attending college, and starting their own businesses. It's truly inspiring.
So, take heart!
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Does Any one Homeschool? Part Two!
This is the very technology and idea that the school is resistant too! Yet
it is medically recommended! Yes she gets O.T. at school yet that is one
person that says mental fatigue or physical fatigue are not reasons to
adjust her school day and she is just working us and we should make her go
all day again against medical advice! I understand that most are adults and
that is very beneficial , infact I am glad because speaking with you helps
with long term goals for Mary. I am being told by the medical side what
Mary's abilities and weaknesses are and how to support those abilities, then
the school builds a wall. I am locating groups for assistive tech and
service dogs even, but the school seems to disagree with the medical
findings. Please understand these medical professionals have tracked Mary
from birth until now they know where she started and where she should be
headed.
Thanks,
I am calm but highly frustrated,
John Runer
