Mi rol como Coordinadora del Centro de Recursos Familiares en AbilityPath es ofrecer apoyo, proporcionar informaci\u00f3n y conectar a las familias de ni\u00f1os con necesidades especiales con recursos locales, lo que es inmensamente gratificante. Criar a un ni\u00f1o con necesidades especiales puede ser dif\u00edcil, especialmente para las familias que est\u00e1n luchando para sobrevivir. Recientemente, una familia con ni\u00f1os gemelos fue referida a mi porque estaban enfrentando dificultades. Esta encantadora familia me cont\u00f3 sobre sus desaf\u00edos para obtener pa\u00f1ales y les dec\u00edan que la raz\u00f3n era porque sus hijos no cumpl\u00edan con los criterios de edad. Quer\u00eda ayudar a esta familia de cualquier forma posible.<\/p>\n
Mientras pensaba en que recursos les servir\u00edan, record\u00e9 la organizaci\u00f3n\u00a0Baby Basics of the Peninsula<\/a>, que se encuentra cerca de nuestra nueva oficina en East Palo Alto. Me acerqu\u00e9 a su directora, Lisa Moody, y le cont\u00e9 sobre esta familia. \u201cBaby Basics of the Peninsula\u201d muy amablemente proporciono una cantidad de pa\u00f1ales por un mes para cada uno de los gemelos. Ya que la familia solo hablaba espa\u00f1ol, le ped\u00ed a mi colega Ana, quien es biling\u00fce, que compartiera las buenas noticias y acordara con ellos para entregarles los pa\u00f1ales. La madre nos recibi\u00f3 en su casa y expres\u00f3 su profundo agradecimiento por el apoyo durante este momento dif\u00edcil.<\/p>\n Todos los coordinadores en el Centro de Recursos Familiares tratan de ser creativos y colaborar con otros miembros del equipo, as\u00ed como personas de la comunidad para ayudar a individuos y familias. Estoy muy feliz de que podamos ofrecer una gran variedad de servicios para las familias que lo necesitan, para que de esta forma ellos contribuyan al desarrollo de sus hijos.<\/p>\n Para conectarse con nuestros coordinadores en el Centro de Recursos Familiares, llame a nuestra l\u00ednea de asistencia gratuita al 650-259-0189<\/a>, env\u00edenos un correo electr\u00f3nico a\u00a0info@smcfrc.org<\/a>\u00a0o\u00a0frcespanol@smcfrc.org<\/a>, o visite nuestra p\u00e1gina web en\u00a0SMCFRC.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb3.25″ custom_padding=\u00bb|||\u00bb custom_padding__hover=\u00bb|||\u00bb][et_pb_menu menu_id=\u00bb43″ admin_label=\u00bbSupport Menu\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.0″ background_color=\u00bbrgba(0,0,0,0)\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb|0px||20px|false|false\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb][\/et_pb_menu][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00bb1″ disabled_on=\u00bbon|on|on\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.0″ background_color=\u00bbrgba(208,208,206,0.3)\u00bb da_disable_devices=\u00bboff|off|off\u00bb disabled=\u00bbon\u00bb da_is_popup=\u00bboff\u00bb da_exit_intent=\u00bboff\u00bb da_has_close=\u00bbon\u00bb da_alt_close=\u00bboff\u00bb da_dark_close=\u00bboff\u00bb da_not_modal=\u00bbon\u00bb da_is_singular=\u00bboff\u00bb da_with_loader=\u00bboff\u00bb da_has_shadow=\u00bbon\u00bb][et_pb_row admin_label=\u00bbRow\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb3.26.7″][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb3.26.7″][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbLearn more about our open Internship Positions\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.0″]<\/p>\n The Individualized Education Plan (IEP)\u00a0<\/b>is an important legal document that is the basis of instruction and supports for your child. The IEP summarizes your child\u2019s current skills and abilities, established educational goals and objectives (where appropriate) for the school year, describes programs and services designed to assist your child in making progress towards those goals and indicates how often progress towards the goals will be reported to you, the parent.<\/span><\/p>\n The IEP is developed with input from parents and must indicate what services will be provided to your child and the frequency, duration and location of these services.<\/span><\/p>\n The school district will contact you to schedule an IEP meeting at a mutually agreed upon time and place. At this meeting, you will be asked to share your concerns for your child educationally, as well as the strengths of your child. You will find a\u00a0<\/span>Parent Input Form\u00a0<\/b>on the San Mateo County Office of Education website link below<\/span>,\u00a0<\/b>which we encourage you to use to gather your thoughts about the information you wish to share with the other members of the IEP team. Should you wish to bring someone to support you at this IEP, you may do so. You can expect that there will be several educational professionals present at this meeting. Present should be any member of the multidisciplinary team who assessed your child, an administrator who can commit resources to support your child\u2019s proposed program, a translator should you need one, the classroom teacher (if the proposed program includes such a placement).<\/span><\/p>\n At this meeting reports on the results of the evaluations will be presented and discussed. You should feel free to stop and ask questions whenever something is discussed that is unclear to you. You will hear the phrase, \u201c<\/span>present levels of performance\u201d\u00a0<\/b>at the meeting. This refers to the information that has been gathered from a variety of sources such as assessments, observations, and work samples. If you share outside assessments with the team, it must be understood that the recommendations and findings of outside assessors must be\u00a0<\/span>considered\u00a0<\/b>by the educational team, but not necessarily adopted by the IEP team.<\/span><\/p>\n After the results of the assessments have been reviewed, eligibility will be discussed. If your child is found eligible for Special Education services, proposed goals will be presented. These goals typically will be designed to support your child\u2019s educational plan along with related services. There may also be a discussion of appropriate accommodations for your child\u2019s program, should this be appropriate. The team will discuss the amount of time per week that your child will receive these\u00a0<\/span>proposed<\/span><\/i>\u00a0services. If the recommendation of the school team is that your child\u2019s placement be a therapeutic setting, you will have the opportunity to visit prior to your child beginning the placement. You do not need to sign an agreement to a specific therapeutic placement if you have not yet been given an opportunity to see the recommended placement. You can expect that these services will begin as near as possible to your child\u2019s third birthday. At the conclusion of this initial IEP meeting, you will be asked to sign your agreement to the goals and objectives, placement (if appropriate) in a special education classroom and specific supports and services for your child. If you want to review the document, you should sign that you attended the meeting. Until you sign your agreement to services and supports, no services will be available to your child. If you disagree with parts of your recommended services, supports or placement, it is wise to put these concerns in writing (e-mail is sufficient) and request another meeting to discuss these concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n If your child is found ineligible for Special Education, a rationale for this decision will be discussed with you. This will be based upon a review of all assessments conducted for your child and eligibility criteria, which is based upon educational code. Your IEP team may suggest community resources which you may want to access.<\/span><\/p>\n If your child is found eligible for Special Education, you can expect a review of the goals, services and supports at least once a year and progress toward your child\u2019s goals and objectives to be reported to you at least as often as children in the school district receive a report card. You may, of course, request a review more frequently than once a year. Every three years, your child will be reassessed to determine their continued eligibility for Special Education.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=\u00bb4.4.3″ height=\u00bb31px\u00bb][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La perspectiva de un padre sobre la crianza de un ni\u00f1o con necesidades especiales y c\u00f3mo beneficiarse del apoyo del Centro de Recursos Familiares<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":2736,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2943","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
