[clawson5104]

I've never done homebound, but I know alot of people in my area that have or do. I'm in WV and we have a programs here where they actually send out people such as speech therapists, developmental specialists, to your home as much as 4 times a month as little as once a month or once every 2 months. you may wanna check and see if your state has this too. our children's with special needs insurance representative referred us to this. good luck.

First of all, my heart is breaking for you. So much to face. As if "just cf" isn't hard enough to deal with...

I would check to see if the speech services can be continued in your home. I'm not sure, but I think that the school system is obligated to find a way to make sure she continues to get services. Also, ask for a copy of the curriculum (or go on line to find it) so you know what to expect until she is back in school. It sounds like your daughter is going to need skill building at her level, too, but it's good to be aware of what will happen at school while she's gone, and to be able to expect what the home bound teacher will do.

Ask the teacher for ideas of how you can support the lessons and reinforce skills. Ask if there are activity kits that you can check out from the district curriculum library. They may have games and things that will help keep you both occupied and keep her learning, too.

ANd, in the mean time, use these months to fill in the gaps. Watch seseme street and super why and blue's clues a little bit every day. They are GREAT for building phonimic awarness (Reading readiness). Get lots of playdough and a set of letter-shaped cookie cutters (playdough actually makes one...check their website). Buy pipe cleaners and shape them into the letters and make simple words. Go through magazines together and cut out pictures representing each letter of the alphabet and make personalized ABC book. This can be done with photos of your daughter doing things for each letter, too...takes a lot longer!!! Buy some of the fun activity books you can get at the gorcery store or Target...they will probablyl be more appealing than the "school" work. And, most importantly, read lots of stories. 20 minutes, three times a day. Same stories over and over if needed. Check a teacher's store for a book called Story Stretchers. It will give tons of activities to do after you read stories. Check homeshool websites, too. If you dig a little, yo will find tons of fun things that you and both your girls can do together.

It just might be the most enriching couple of months she's ever had!!! You can do this!

Feel free to pm me. If you havn't guessed, I'm an elementary teacher!

I'll be thinking of you!

Thank you all for the advice.

I spoke to the school about the speech being continued at home & they said that they do have to continue it but I have to bring her to them either before or after school so I called my doc & spoke to him about it & her being on the IEP & he said that the last thing I should worry about is speech right now. Maybe I will start thinking about that in a few weeks. So, I am assuming the reason that this wasn't transitioned is because of my doc's wishes on the homebound packet that was filled out.

Her teacher also gave me some books that they will be learning to read in class. They use the Jack & Jilly program here so I am going to work with her on those. In addition to the homebound teacher coming her teach says that she is going to help me with her lesson plans so she can catch up.

This might just work out to our advantage getting some 1 on 1 help for her!!!!!
