OneStepAtATime Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I wondered if people wanted to start a private chat group for planning and supporting High School or even Middle School choices for their child with differences (since some have expressed to me their discomfort at posting on a public chat board regarding specifics). Post here or PM me if you are interested. Edited February 11, 2016 by OneStepAtATime 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneStepAtATime Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 O.k. I will create one. I have had some requests on PM too. Let me clarify, I am creating the group for parents of kids that may not be taking a standard path, including kids on the spectrum, kids with dyslexia, kids with anxiety, or whatever. Some may be gifted, some average, some may have lower IQ, etc. I will keep the group open to new members but the group itself I would prefer tol be private. Unfortunately, this means new members will be able to join by invitation only. Feel free to suggest members, though. I don't want to exclude anyone that might find a group like this helpful. Anyone interested can post here and they will be added, too. I prefer to keep it private so that people can feel more free to share whatever they may wish to share. I would also suggest, when the poster is willing, that if someone has great ideas that might help the general WTM population we can also link the information here on the LC board so more people can gain from the information. Personal info would remain private, though. Any suggestions for a name? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pen Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Doing High/Middle School with Learning Challenges ???? (I thought maybe "doing" includes planning, but that the group might want to go beyond the planning to the doing) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneStepAtATime Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 When you get to the first page after member approval, click on group discussion. The first page says there are no topics but they are in the group discussion section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneStepAtATime Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) When you get on the group, please introduce yourself. :) ETA: If you have never been part of a social group on WTM before, once you are a member the group should show up at the bottom of the page when you are on the main WTM forums page. You can also get on by clicking the Social Groups tab at the top. Edited February 10, 2016 by OneStepAtATime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
