Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Mike, I was just wondering if you would have any advise for advocating for an IEP? Our school is refusing Bradley an IEP based on his IQ and that they think he is doing fine socially. We on the otherhand think with a high IQ he should be getting better than C's, B's and should be on task more than 50% of the times. Also, I have witnessed his threats and aggression at school and home is a no brainer. He has no real friends per say, and he obviously misreads social cues, and needs help in that area at school. We are asking for an aide to provide this. What do you think?

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 It would help if you could get an independent opinion...that helped in our situation. They knew we meant business if we were willing to pay out of our own pockets for professional testing. maralee Re: Re:Mike/iep Mike, I was just wondering if you would have any advise for advocating for an IEP?
