D.D.
Hi T.,
Although i am not a mom with L.D. kids, I am a teacher. I have taught in NYC for 6 years. I then taught in Atlanta for 2 years in a "Montessori" based school. I have worked with LD kids in a heterogeneous setting. I do have 2 children 14 and 9 and was a stay at home mom. For the last few years I did go back to working part time in a nursery school because I was NY certified not NJ certified. I am currently working in the preschool and recongize the children with disabilities. The school I am in doesnt advocate the teachers to share their feelings or suggestions to the parents.(frustrating)
I have volunteered my time with autistic kids and loved it. Actually I had the opportunity to have my son volunteer his time as well. He loved it too. My preschool offered me full time next year but if you are starting up a school I would love to speak with you if you need help.
I do understand the special needs of a child and have the patience that is needed.
I do think there is a need for a private setting for these children. The moms would love it compared to a public school.
My name is Dawn. I am 44 years old, happily married for 18 years.I have 2 children 14 and 9, and I live in Monmouth county.
