I teach a class of medically complex students ages 5-10. This June our PTO is planning a laser light show in house field trip. The same show was done last year. The problem is my students s all have seizure disorders and cannot attend. I expressed my concern to admin last year, but evidently it was forgotten. So yet again my students will not be able to attend a whole school in house field trip. Would anyone else be bothered by this if it was your students? TYIA for any opinions

We would be in HUGE trouble for not being inclusive. The parents could sue for discrimination! It is not ok for something like this to happen. I can’t believe your admin allow it. We can’t even plan field trips or ANY event that is NOT inclusive. For example, we wanted to take our preschoolers to a farm, but the dirt paths there are not wheelchair or walker safe, so we can’t go. We don’t do field trips at all, actually. It is too hard to plan for and make all of the accommodations and/or modifications needed for everyone to benefit from it.

That feels so wrong. I know these events are difficult to plan and take a lot of volunteer work but would it really be that hard to find literally anything else that wouldn’t exclude your students? I’m so sorry :( this situation makes me really sad. Is it already planned and booked? I would push push push if not! Find a few teachers who agree with you and go to admin!

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
