Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 ---, I don't know about your state, but here in WV, the school usually schedules an IEP (individulized education plan) for students with special needs. My youngest had auditory processing problems AND was gifted at the same time. And, parents can call for an IEP at any time they feel it is neccessary. I don't know if your state has that sort of thing, but certainly the school board office must have someone in charge of special ed, that can guide you. Parents usually know what is best for the child, and you DO have rights. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi, I would call a meeting (IEP meeting) and just tell them you would like her placed back in regular classes as she is doing so well. The school might suggest she start slow (an hour or 2 or so or a half day) to see how she does before putting her back in full-time. If so, try to pin down how long this will continue before she goes full- time. I'm glad she is doing so well and is eager to go back to the regular classroom!! If they were to suggest phasing her back in, tell your daughter it is just to not overwhelm her and the school wants to be sure she can handle it, etc., etc., that it is to her benefit. (don't want to hurt her eagerness/self-esteem if the school doesn't agree to go straight back to regular classes) My son (15) has been doing well. I just have to let the school know that I want his 504 Plan kept in place to use on an " as needed " basis due to the waxing/waning of OCD. There is a letter in the FILES section of this group from Dr. that you can print and give to the school regarding keeping an IEP or 504 Plan in place in case needed. Could the summer program she's in write a note about how well she has been doing? > Hi I am new to this group.
