Summer School update
I know I am way overdue for this update but i will update anyway on CDS 2010.
I really enjoy CDS and with two weeks left. Iwill leave it behind for ever
Academically it is vary easy i have gotten A+ on a English test .( Mr.T look I did not just disrupt class but I learned the parts of speech. Lunch: I hang out with some boys and we play Sorry but we all eat lunch in the general area and I have a lot of friends at school. I am enjoying lunch instead of hating it.
I really miss my high school and old teachers but collage is alright. I am not sure how my other collage will go but will find out soon as it starts Aug 18.

Full Furstation
warning this post contains a vent |
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.
got pics from the flowing

Teach your childeren well
Today I learned a great skill in self advocating. I have had some problems with some of the kids and staff at CDS(all the students have disabilities in the program ) understanding my speech and teasing ( more on this soon) so I made a power point on CP and presented it to the class and head teacher. It went well and the great thing was that I did it without direct input from other adults. I did go down to the speech center yesterday and they said to educate others but they did not mention creating a power point . I am feeling proud of my self and hope that any parent reading this who has a special need kid remember that eventually they need to be an expert on there disabilities to the point where they can educate others.

Soo you say u understand me eh
I speak english a little spainsh and of course Gibberish
I have a hard time saying my name and speaking clearly for that matter but I think I have also grown when someone does not understand me.
It started last Th as I went to a local speech center to sign up for speech ( more on this latter) and I was talking to a ST and another one walked in and knew of my old ST from high school and so I introduce my slef and she said oh and I could tell she did not understand me and I ask her. The ST was so impressed. I do have a sixth sense and it is so cool.
