He has had an IEP since preschool and is now in the 11th grade. He is doing well. HE maintains all As in school and has since 5th grade. He is very smart, and his academics are not the problem. HOWEVER, his life is in need of care in school and his IEP addresses these issues. He gets OT, SLP and the SW and also has a lap top type of writer that is provided by the school for typing his work. Anyway, that school that is denying your son/daughter an IEP is forgetting the social issues are a big part of education and a need for an IEP, as that is a part of his/her having an appropriate education in the proper setting. I hope that you can prove the schools wrong. Have you ever been to WRIGHTSLAW online? They have some good things to read there. in IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
