My therapist letter about school

Post Reply New Topic

I finally figured or a way to fik my photos at least for now though an app hold on

Here's the discharge information from my first time in the hospital

Like I said: if you passed the Regents, you're not intellectually challenged.

I'll have to wait until I get home to read the discharge papers. Where I'm at now, many things are blocked.

jen You keep making progress (which is great).

The Regents aren't easy. If a person doesn't have much experience in an "academic" setting, no matter how smart he/she is, he/she probably won't pass the Regents. That's not discriminatory.

I never said anything about "intellectually-challenged" and the school you're going to.

I went to a school which had "intellectually-challenged" people--and people with many types of disabilities. You should look up "Summit School-Queens" for more information.

I wonder if headphones would assist you when you are hearing voices.

I'm not the greatest guy in the world.

But I do not believe in discrimination of any kind. I believe people should do their best at all times.

If a person who supposedly has "intellectual challenges" passes the Regents, I'd be very glad--I'd be jumping for joy.

That's a good question. The school has changed somewhat from when I went. I'm no expert on the school at this point

I do know that they are pretty rigorous academically. They are also rather strict as far as students' behavior is concerned.

Maybe you could find some present-day Summit School students on Facebook or somewhere like that.

I wish I could advise you to speak to an Admissions Counselor--but they are also strict that one parent/grandparent would have to be present with you.

Overall, their outlook is conservative.

Probably more than two hours--if you go by public transportation.

You'd have to take the Bee Line, then the 4, then the E or F, then the Q88 at Queens Center Mall.

However, you could use the school as a model for schools which you might want to attend.

Conservative means: Old-fashioned, not willing to change, wanting to keep things the same. Usually, this means strict discipline within a school setting.

I went to Summit School from 1968 to 1972--a long, LONG time ago. One way that it's changed is that there's an "upper school" now; they didn't have one when I went. Also: it seems more organized, somehow. Back when I went, everything seemed pretty random.

They are closing WP tonight at 8:30 PM. You won't be able to reply to posts, or to make up new posts, until at least tomorrow (Saturday) night.

I hope you have a good weekend.

Seems like an okay place.

I don't really know. I'd have to actually know who the teachers are. I'd have to know how they could assist you in getting a Regents Diploma. I'd have to know what accommodations they would give you to assist you in being successful. I'd have to read review of the place by people who have actually gone there.

You mentioned something about "MD." I don't even know what "MD" means. If I don't know, how can I say that you might be "MD?" That would be ridiculous

It just so happens: I believe you are not intellectually-challenged in any way.

Keep up posted on how it all works out Jen. I wish you the very best to get the help you need.
