IEP Video

This is a video for my sons IEP meeting. I want to show him in a positive light and give the IEP team a face to put with his name and diagnosis. I have removed *identifing* information like his name,etc for privacy reasons.

I am a student teacher working on a project on special education. I am also a mom. Your video moved me to tears and will serve to remind me that each child I encounter in my future practice is somebody's world. Well done:)

Thank you so much!

Great video! I want to suggest something...you should put this video on teachertube as well...us teachers are unable to access youtube during school hours and I know that you could reach so many teachers if they were able to get to the video easier!

Great job...so touching!

Hi, sorry it took me so long to get to this but I wanted you to know that I did upload the video to Teacher Tube. My user name is moodymom so you should be able to find it there now. Thanks for the idea!

what a nice video, I hope you can be a good voice for your son & advocate. it is very hard in society to raise a disabled son--mine is 18 w/mental illness. its a struggle but I love my son as well. Good looking kids you have by the way! : )

This video is excellent. I also have a son with Asperger's Syndrome. This video made me cry, what a great idea you had. I shared this with my son's principal and his autistic support teacher and asked them to share it with the rest of the school staff.

I am also doing a project for school and have to write a mock IEP meeting. I chose an actual boy (rather than a fictional one) that I encountered when I worked at a day care who had an "behavioral/emotional disorder". I really hate the labels they use for children because they are so much more than that. This video is a great way to communicate that!

Thank you so much for this. I am a student going through the credential program at SDSU. You moved me.

It's a very moving vid, and I love the way you managed not to focus just on the difficulties Asperger brings, but more on the person your son is. Cudos and good luck!

This is so awesome! I'm a special education teacher and was thinking of creating a video to start my iep meetings but I love that a parent did it. This is awesome!

I added a video response to your video -- although its presented in a bit of an angry way, my message is that IEP students are still students, and deserve better than what they're getting now.

A truly, inspirational video. I am looking to work with SEN children and this video has inspired me to finish my assignment!

Fantastic.

Thanks
