WRIGHTSLAW NEEDS A FORUM
Nancy: The Wrightslaw website is here: http://www.wrightslaw.com
Years ago, we had a forum but the spammers took over so we had to shut it down.
On the Wrightslaw Way blog, we created the Community Helpline so people can post their questions – link here: https://www.wrightslaw.com/blog/?page_id=38
Review the info in “How Can I Post” here – “https://www.wrightslaw.com/blog/?page_id=32
Because many people have the same or similar questions. I suggest you look in the Archives for questions asked and answered over the years. https://www.wrightslaw.com/blog/?page_id=6763
Thanks for letting us know that you were confused and didn’t realize that there was a way for people to ask questions.

I have visited Wright’s Law often. I am an educator working with children’s behavior. I often have questions to ask, but always I leave because there does not seem to be a forum for asking them. While I can understand that Wright’s Law cannot answer every question a person could ask, I don’t see why there is no forum on these page or if there is, I certainly can’t find it.
I feel voiceless on this web page, trapped in a rigid format. Why not have a forum so that parents and teachers can ask specific questions and have them answered by a variety of professionals? I want to ask about a very punishing behavior system that is being used in a EBD classroom at my school, but there seems no where on these pages to find an answer. I believe this teacher is damaging the students she is supposed to teach new behaviors.
Would love a video of one of your advocacy trainings. I have the CD (audio only) but having video be helpful for visual impact. This would be a great option for those who are unable to travel to the conference locations.
Would also love for Wrightslaw to develop a study guide for FETA. I am organizing a study group for FETA. I am working on developing a study guide, but it’s tough. Would be a great companion to the book and FETA web!
As for your question about the Wrightslaw site. Lots of good information but easy to get lost in it all. I don’t think there’s a way around that. Great info!!
Love your blog and newsletter and all your resources. Keep it up! Thank you!
Thank you Angie. We did actually tape a conference a few years back. We were not completely satisfied with the quality. I believe this is something we should start thinking about again. A study guide for the FETA book…another project we need to find time for! It certainly would make a great compliment to the book and site. I understand about the website and getting lost. We are looking into redesigning the site somewhere down the road for just that reason. We will start with one of our smaller sites first. Thank you again!
I went to your training in Livonia. AMAZING.
I would LOVE to see more partnerships with (at least in our area) CMH (Community Mental Health); who service those with Medicaid
The challenge is, most of us (me included) can not afford the fee for the workshop. However, if CMH/Wrightslaw worked on getting grant money to cover the cost of xx amount of people, this information can reach those that are in dire need of information.
OR
train parents (yes I am volunteering) and sponsor them to give the presentations to smaller groups under Wrightslaw instruction and direction.
We need to get the word out; and there are thousands that need to hear it;.
I loved speaking with Mr Wright. Thank you again for your help and encouragement and humor.
Sincerely
Bambi
More options to gain knowledge is better. I find support from the “conversation” in social media. Seems to often relate to our challenges. Thank you for caring about the education of our special needs children, Understanding “the game” helps parents play the game with their child benefiting, always our goal.
Dad2Luke:
If you have our book, “From Emotions to Advocacy,” you’ll find a Conversion Table that allows you to convert standard scores and subtest scores to percentile ranks on page 96 in Chapter 11. Easier than a slide rule. ;- )
I like paper books for writing in the margins. But I do like PDFs for searching for words to find information. I’d also like something like slide rule for converting scores to percentile rankings.
