I have the hardest speech in my entire class. Has been a statement I could have said from pre k to senior year of high school,without frustration. As when I was young as long as kids played with me (which they did ) at recess, lunch or free time. As I entered middle school , I told myelg that they do not have a disability ( I got passed up in speech class and that was discouraging , but not to bad) and that lasted through high school, what also helped was the typical kids who could understand repeat things to the teacher.
( Another reason that inculsive education has worked for me) But as I say it about my current class CDS 2010 my Frustration level is full.
I really like my first day picture of CDS |
The thing is that all of the students in the program are young adults with disabilities and most of them have been in SDC classes in high school. I am one of the smartest students in the classes and I comprehend everything that goes on. It should make sense since I understand everything that I should be able to express myself , but that is not the case. All the teachers do not understand me 100 percent of the time and it is difficult to show them how smart and funny I really am. A good example is today during PE.
We were in the cycling room and coach A (we had a four coaches today) helps me and says "AZ you make me feel like Cinderella," as he put my foot through the straps on the bike pedals" Am i the handsome prince ."
" No," I say You are the ugaly troll. I have been playing a lot of Lego Harry potter on the Wii.
The ugly frog,"
"No troll,"
"Mole?"
" No? "
The other kids call out but they do not say troll
I got off my bike and wrote the wrong spelling of troll
I show it to coach B "Troy,"
"No troll
" Finally coach got it."
I walked back across campus with Coach A and we talked about the frustration i have about my speech during the classes in the class and he suggested slowing down and articulating. Coach A says that he talks to fast and ask that we all try to do our best and slow down. I can do that but it still does not guaranteed that I will speak smartly. I hate speaking stupidly I need more ST with a good speech therapist.

It has to be frustrating. Max doesn't really talk a lot. I know it frustrates him when people don't know what he wants or is trying to say. That leads to behavior problems with him.
Just do your best... That's all you can do.
Love your picture. You are very pretty!
Enjoyed reading this.
I have had experiences where comprehension and expression are dissociated/separated.
The "ugly troll" story!
