'Typical children don't come with an instruction manual, so there definitely isn't a manual on special needs kids.'
Jill Marshall is a native of New York, living in Culver City, California, with her husband and two daughters. She is passionate about special education and has recently returned to work, helping special needs families receive the services they need. She strives to be the person she needed, when she started this journey with her own children, 12 years ago.
My calendar is already reminding me of my upcoming meetings, making me realize I have a 7:45 a.m. meeting with my child's case manager and new guidance counselor. I think even my calendar is surprised that there is an event at that time. I know that this will be an easy, quick meeting, as our middle school case manager is my guardian angel, but it's still a meeting. Meetings cause the anxiety that I swear, to my therapist, I don't have.
It's not so much the middle school. I was beyond surprised with how well they run their special education program when we entered school last fall. Again, our case manager is my teammate. If there is a bump in the road, we talk and she smooths it immediately. There is nothing like knowing what your child needs and fighting for it, only to have someone say you are wrong. Then you foolishly second guess yourself -- which is exactly what they want you to do -- and speed dial your lawyer, who says you are absolutely right. She then sends a letter, and only then does the school and/or district untie their hands. By that point, you are depleted, tired, angry, relieved and content, while smirking a tiny bit, because you won this particular battle.
