SN FAQs gone?

[bzeetyd]

I went back to TB to look through the SN FAQs and of course all the links are gone. Did anyone archive the info anywhere else? Any chance those FAQs will be resurrected here? Many thanks to those who put in the time to create them.

The FAQs were done by Assembly_Required.

So far as I know, they got thrown out with the bump re-boot. She may have them saved somewhere. She wasn't on as much recently, so I don't know that she was able to find us or interested in doing so.

I sure hope all of her hard work isn't gone for good.

That sucks that they're deleted, but in a way I'm not surprised. That wouldn't have been puppies and rainbows enough for the douchebag admins running that place. Heaven forbid honest reality is offered over there.

I'd love to see those threads re-created over here. I can't remember all of the threads that were posted, but maybe we could revive them, and add all of the links to the original threads in a stickied thread here?

It looks like the third thread from top is the FAQs on the old site....is that what OP was looking for?

The actual thread title shows up but all of the internal links go no where. Click on autism signs or vision -any of them- it doesn't go anywhere anymore. .. sad

Is anyone interested in recreating a FAQ for this site?

We could certainly cobble something together if people are willing to take on the task.

What conditions/concerns/topics should we cover?

How about creating threads with the conditions we know are on the board (ASD, genetic conditions (like T21, deletions), SPD, LD, and any others and let the parents who are dealing with those conditions work together within the thread to create FAQs for each? Then, later do state specific IFSP/IEP type FAQs.

You can still pull up a few of the FAQs on google cache, but it looks like the bump deleted the actual threads she made.

I think recreating them here is a great idea.

Yes to all of this, and I would also recommend adding 504s/medical plans to the IFSP/IEP section.

I wonder if it makes sense to break up Birth to Three aka "EI" or IDEA Part C and 

IDEA Part B/ ADA Section 504 and Medical Plans.

EI does differ a little state to state, with some having a sliding fee, disallowing double services and even allowing some with DD labels to remain served by EI past age 3.

IDEA for 3- 22, Medical Plans and ADA Section 504 are more alike than different state to state.

Unrelated to this, another thread that was useful was the one on EEGs, MRIs.

I think it would make total sense to break up the 2 categories.  If all of the B-3 and the 3-22 stuff was lumped together in 1 FAQ, that could end up being a lot of information to wade through.

It would probably also help if people noted what state they're in for the EI stuff, IMO.  That way people can read through the posts, but if they need to do a quicker search for something state-specific, it might make it a bit easier.

Yes! Any thread that anyone here would want to recreate could be very useful.

When I was looking at them I was hopeful to read the MRI one - as we've got one this week - but so sad that it was gone.

Also I think there was one about (general) developmental delays that I was interested in, but obviously cater to the board's needs first and not mine.

You all have SO much experience and it's SO kind of you to share.
