Question by jenniebells: How have students with severe disabilities been impacted by No Child Left Behind?

Best answer:

Answer by LDTeacher
I have been a special educator for 30 ears EVERYTHING has impacted these kids!!
The tests that they are required to take have been changed, and the graduation requirements are very different. Hopefully, the tests reflect he needs and and basics that these kids need as adults. but the problem is that the LD or mildly MR kids are the ones who don’t get enough changes in their educational program.
They are expected to do everything that a “normal” kid is supposed to do w/o appropriate adaptions….the whole thing is un fair…there will always be kids who have special needs and just how can we help them??

Question by : Why are my parents doing this to me ? Help please !!?
Yes, my parents are literally ruining my life. They are sending me to what they call a “residential treatment centre” for four or more months. They think I can’t handle my “problems” on my own. They are sending me there for OCD, which I have been living with my whole life so why should anything help now; PTSD just because every once in a while I will have a bad dream about my best friend who died; and for eating disorders, and while did have anorexia for two years and bulimia for one year I am seeing a therapist and it’s helping so much. All I have done is improved for all of these symptoms in the past few months, so why did they decide to all of the sudden send me to a “residential treatment center” in Illinois? I don’t think they realize how much worse that’s going to make everything. When my life is unstable that tends to trigger my OCD severely and I start to purge again too. And you can’t get any more unstable than sending me from Georgia to Illinois to a mental facility with no one I know and all alone. And on top of that, my brother’s wedding is in a month and I was suppose to be a bridesmaid. I’m supposed to be at this place until at least January if not later and there’s no way they can reschedule just for me. I’m going to miss a huge milestone in my family all because of my parents. I made an elite club volleyball team and now I have to give up my position because of this. To top it all off, my birthday is on Sunday and I’m leaving Friday. I can’t believe this. I’m only almost fifteen and it’s not like I’m a social outcast just because I have a few issues. I have a social life, friends, good grades. Why do they think this is so good for me if I am already improving so well just with my therapist? How do I convince them by Friday to let me stay home with my family and friends and my older sister and older brother who mean so much to me? I seriously might go through depression if they do this. Help how do I tell them to let me stay?!
