New Photo Albums … Yea!

Hello all,

I just added the ability for everyone to upload their own photos to their own member pages. Just go to the top navigation bar (above) and move your mouse over “My Account”. You will then see an option called “Album” ..

Once you click on Album, choose “Upload Picture”. Fill in a name and a description and choose “browse” and then click submit.

Thats it!

After you are done tell everyone that you have new pictures by either writing on your “Wire” or by adding an entry to the new “Buddy Pictures” Group.

I cant wait to see all the great photos. I just uploaded one of Teddy. Please enjoy. (See Teddy Here).

Top Ten IEP Tips

The special education advisory council posted the following advice on how to “deal” with your child’s IEP. Their advice is invaluable. More information can be found on their website here.

1. Preparation is a must! If it’s a MET meeting, you need the evaluation to review. Request to meet with the psych beforehand if need be. Don’t try to do the IEP in the same meeting as the MET; it’s too much. Ask to see the goals and a draft beforehand so you aren’t rushed to read through it on the spot.

2. Make a wish list. Don’t go in with too many little things, it will distract everyone and tie up too much time on small points. Go in with your big list of 5. Don’t get sidetracked. Stick to the points.

3. Look ahead. If there is a possible conflicting view on services or placement and you think there will be opposition, do your research. Find studies or research to back your views as well as data on your own child that proves your point. This can include home video, work samples from home or anything you think may convey your viewpoint.
