Monday, November 16th
Well, I got in this morning and contacted the school where the person that is going to translate for my Wednesday meeting works. Following that, I go over to the middle school with several of my coworkers to meet with the assistive technology specialist and teachers to oversee the creation of assignments for one of my students with the Classroom Suite software I've mentioned in previous posts. It was a fairly good meeting but we are still left with the overall issue of where is all this leading for this student and what is the ultimate goal for educating him.
After lunch, I start working on the psych report that has been plaguing me for the past week. I'm almost to my favorite part, the emotional/social functioning section. This is where the voodoo of psychology comes in (as my professor in projective testing referred to it) and it is also the one part of the psych reports where I really need to feel inspired before I'm able to write it. There is so much information at the moment that I don't have a clear picture so I can foresee that this part will take another few days.
I then meet with an LDTC to review the testing of one of my students. We compare our results and decide that SLD is no longer an appropriate category for her and that while student may still be multiply disabled, the parts that make up the multiple disability have changed. We also discuss modifications that may assist her further and really can't think of anything more that what is being done at the moment.
After this, it is back to wrestling with the report a bit more and finalizing some information for Wednesday's meeting, while dealing with the growing headache. It has been awhile since I've had so many headaches. It is probably the continually changing temperatures that are occurring both in and outside of our building. That or my blood pressure has shot up suddenly. Growing old is crap.
