Re: Help with school iep

[Guest guest]

The LEA has to provide safe transportation for your son; they may choose a helmet and not a seat however. Is there another reason he needs the seat? Do you want him receiving home bound? Homebound is the most restrictive environment and IDEA says that they must teach him in the least restrictive environment. If you want him on homebound then present the doctors letters and such that state that is what he needs. The same goes for the 1-on-1 aide. I would make sure that there is a medical plan and a behavioral plan with the IEP. The school has to provide a way for him to communicate at school; they do not have to let him take it home. In WV, the Autism Training Center at Marshall University supplied all the PECS cards for home and school at no cost, they also made the book and the task and activities schedules.

Hi De,

I would request in writing an evaluation by either the speech

therapist or assistive technology specialist for use of a PECS. Put

#s 1 and 2 in writing as well, but I think you are likely out of luck

on #4 as far as getting home services. The school system should

supply the seat if it's required for safety.
