[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps we have an attitude to some parents in reaction to what is so obvious on this thread. So many of you think we're untrained, lazy and stupid. You might know your child better than anyone, but we know our field better than you. [/quote]

Work on reading comprehension. Nobody said you were untrained. What was said is if someone gets an expert in the field-someone who is a world renowned researcher, clinician and professor, it is ignorant of you to claim to know more and not even listen. Also, research is useless if it isn't published. Publication at least ensures your research methods, stats and sample sizes were decent. Anyone can claim to have conducted a research study.[/quote]
you proved my point with your condecending comment "work on reading comprehension". 
Someone on this thread called SPED professionals untrained using that exact word. [/quote]

I said it, and I stand by it. The lack of knowledge of people who are allegedly SLPs and reading specialists and psychologists is revolting. [b]You bring in actual PhD researchers, and they just blow the school personnel out of the water.[/b] [/quote]

Come on lady, time to get off that high horse.

Those research do know a lot about research...and wouldn't survive a week in an actual classroom.

The real question in this thread is, Why do special ed parents seem to condescend to the teachers, therapists?[/quote]

No, my "high horse" works just fine.  Once I got the teachers/therapists to put their egos aside and actually take the damn recommendations, they admitted they worked wonderfully.  One even admitted they had never read the reports until I pointed out all the recommendations in the reports addressed her classroom concerns. [/quote]
