[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, when my child was in 5th, we got 8 hours a week of special ed time (combination of push in and pull out, for academics), a weekly social skills group co taught by the speech therapist and social worker, and additional push in hours by the social worker and SLP (separately). [/quote]

Does the SLP do just pragmatic language, or does your child have other language challenges?  What did the SLP and social worker do during push-in hours, do you know?  Was the social skills group "manualized" (eg based on something like Unstuck and On Target) or just ad hoc? Thank you! [/quote]

Just pragmatic language. When the SLP pushed in, it was to help with group work, especially with book clubs, which were challenging for my child. The social worker pushed in during recess (not every day, but many days) to help with social interactions.

In 4th grade the social skills group was based on Unstuck, but in 5th grade it was ad hoc and very targeted to my child's needs.[/quote]

That sounds really good!  Is that a DCPS or a charter? And why is this stuff all so ad hoc, with no central "prescription" for what HFA kids should get ....[/quote]
