    Help with Windows Vista and parental controls for time limits

    Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong in setting it up so there are time limits for my daughter's use on the computer? I have had Windows Vista for a couple of years and just found out you can set time limits for usage. However, I set the amount of time she could be on...say from 1PM to 4PM...

    Another school year has ended

    Hi All...Many of you won't remember me, but some like Sue and Martie will definitely remember. Another school year has ended, at least for my difficult child. She is out four days early because of her grades and perfect attendance allowed her to take her finals early. Her MAP testing exempts her from...

    daughter started her period...

    and I need help with who makes products such as pads that are for young teens. I went to the store today and looked, but I thought at least one of the major feminine hygiene products made pads or tampons for teens so that they were shorter and narrower and such. Didn't find any in my store...

    Sheila or Martie...

    Please, can you tell me if there is a basis to complain about the SD continuing to have an attorney present at IEP meetings when they know I cannot have counsel present? As you may remember, we have been in litigation almost constantly with the SD since 2002. However, we are no longer in...

    Sheila or Martie, or anybody else who might know..

    Many times I have seen Sheila say she has written a letter for clarification or such and then requested that it become a part of her difficult children file. What do you do if you make this request and you get a return letter refuting what you clarified and refusing to make either letter a part of the file...

    Washing machine repair?????

    I am hoping somebody can tell me an easy/cheap fix for my washing machine. It seems that the seal at the bottom of the agitator is loose or something and when the clothes are spinning out it is slinging grease/oil onto the clothes. It has ruined several shirts of the precious few new things I...

    My desktop computer was acting kind of funny, so I tried to do a system restore, but it said I had no restore points. OK, don't know how that happened as I had used that before, so on to system recovery...you know where it says it does the non-destructive system recovery from the partition on...

    SSI and deeming income

    I have a question regarding how it works for deeming income if I go to work. At this point we are living 100% off daughter's SSI. It is very hard. I have been to the SSA website and tried to understand how the deeming of parents income works, but it seems to me that if I am understanding it...

    Public Defenders

    Can anybody tell me who I complain to if my child isn't getting adequate (i.e. none)representation from her public defender? Is this a matter I would take up with some supervisor or administrator within the Public Defender's office itself, or would I write a letter to the judge or what? I know...

    Martie, about the IEP meeting

    Martie, Since you had asked about the IEP meeting, I thought I would update. It took place today, and although my attorney couldn't attend in person so was only there on the phone, and the SD brought two attornies, the meeting still went pretty good. The diagnostician hit some of the points of...

    Martie, can you help me understand this?

    Martie, I know you said you don't know much about the RIAS that was adminstered to my daughter. I did use the link Sheila gave me and found out what the subtests are and then based on what information I got from that link, I asked for the T scores and such. I need to know if there is something...

    Need info on an intelligence test I am not familiar with

    I just met with the diagnostician to go over the re-evaluation report so I can try to understand it before the IEP meeting. There was resistance to doing a re-evaluation even though my daughter hadn't had a full evaluation since her initial evaluation in kindergarten. We were working with data from...

    Is it too late?

    I am wondering if it is too late to do anything to help a child who is now in sixth grade and it seems obvious to me she has dysgraphia and dyscalcula, or that there is a high probability. This is a child who has an IEP, but she qualified under an ED lable as well as the gifted. Much of her...

    IEP/How do you force the SD to follow the IEP?

    I am so frustrated and it is only five weeks into the school year. We just recently reached a settlement agreement with the SD in regards to the Due Process that was filed over two years ago. The settlement agreement was initiated by the SD's attorney after the SD's expert pscyhologist witness...

    Suspensions and Removals

    In your answer to Kody Bug's mom you replied that removals count toward the 10 days. So you are saying that if my daughter has been sent home early six days this school year and four of them were early in the morning that those four days count in the cumulative 10? If I am interpreting what...
