Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hi, This is a very serious matter so please excuse me for giggling. has nothing in his IEP this year other then it states that is tapering his medicines and something might happen.When it came time to list modifications I had to be honest and tell them that we could fill his IEP up with everything they had but I have no idea what might pop up when or where. I need to get my printer up and running because that was an excellant list of modifications and as gets older he will need more modifications for sure.
