I don't know about any letters. I do know that pursuant to the 1997 amendements, the ability of the SEAs was strengthened relative to the award of compensatory ed or other remedies relative to a complaint. So the first step in your process is to collect/create all the documentation you can that the IEP is not being implemented. (Like send a letter to the gormless twit who said she " doesn't have time to make sure Gabe gets his speech and OT time, " confirming this idiocy.) Then file a formal complaint pursuant to your state complaint procedures (see your state rules for sped if you are not familiar with them) enclosing all the documentation, for their edification, asking for compensatory ed as the remedy. No promises that it will work, but that's how the process begins. Celeste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUH! I read that too quickly the first time, and throught you were asking for any OSEP/OCR letters that addess the issue of compensatory ed. After another senior moment, and reading Kay's comment, I realize you want a sample letter of complaint. Well, ok, then, no problem. I've only written a million of 'em. See the following. (Remember, I've changed names and details to make it *mythical* for you. Celeste ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 123 Elm Street Yortown, NY 10101 555/121-4568 March 13, 2000 Mr. I.M. Boss, Director Office of Special Education Services New York Department of Education 22 Kumquat Blvd. Albany, NY 10895 Dear Mr. Boss: This letter is a formal complaint against the Yortown Community Schools, on behalf of our son, Smart. is a 14 year old hard of hearing student in the eighth grade. He attends Monroe Junior High School and also receives special education programs and services through the Yortown Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students. We allege that Yortown Community Schools violated the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the New York Administrative Rules for Special Education. Allegation #1: Failure to provide related services 's IEP, (attached) requires that he receive speech therapy twice per week, 30 minutes per session, and PT once per week, 45 minutes per session. Since January 15, 2000 no speech therapy has been provided to him at all, and he has only had 2 session of PT, each for 25 minutes. Those sessions occured on January 26 and February 7, 2000. The IEP clearly states that is to receive services from August 28, 1999 through June 12, 2000. The principal of Monroe Junior High School, Ms. Mona Forver, informed us that speech services are not available while the speech therapist is on maternity leave. (See attached letter of confirmation, dated January 30, 2000.) 's homeroom teachers stated that she will only allow to go to PT if she feels that has been particularly clumsy during the week (See attached letter of confirmation, dated February 12, 2000.) We do not believe that this meets the requirements of 's IEP, and thus violates both the IDEA and the NY Administrative Rules for Special Education. We request that you direct Yortown Community Schools to immediately begin providin Rogger with all the therapy services to which he is entitled, as per his IEP. Additionally, we request that you direct the district to initiate the provision additional hours Speech Therapy and PT, equivalent to the hours missed, to compensate for the missed services, to which he was entitled. We further request that the schedule for the provision of these compensatory services be approved by us before taking effect. Allegation #2: Failure to provide supplementary aids 's IEP requires the provision of an FM unit. He is mainstreamed for all academic classes, except English. Beginning with the second semester of this academic year, his math teacher has been Mr. C. U. Inhades, who refuses to wear the FM microphone. As a result, is unable to understand what he is saying, and is falling behind in math. He failed the first two quizzes of this semester. has always done well in math and claims that he failed the quiz because Mr. Inhades will not wear the FM microphone, so he is unable to benefit from any instruction given to the rest of the class. We request that you direct Mr. Inhades to wear the FM microphone at all times when is in his class. We further request that you direct the district to either provide with after-school tutoring, or reimburse us for the cost of a private tutor, to compensate for the instruction missed while Mr. Inhades was not wearing the FM microphone. We also ask that you direct Mr. Inhades to allow to take the first two quizzes over again, after he has completed the tutoring. We request that you investigate the substance of our complaints, and direct Yortown Community Schools to provide compensatory education and services, as suggested above, if these allegations are found valid. Please respond to us in writing. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need additional information. Thank you for your time and attention to these matters. Very truly yours, Smart Smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 Further to what Celeste wrote - I agree with the need for documentation. I also like to copy everyone in the district on my correspondence -- you never know who might help you. It was obvious to anyone who read my trail of documentation that the FM units were not working more than they were working and no one seemed to take responsibility. This letter got the Superintendent of Schools involved with my children's FM units and now the teachers and all involved realize the importance of implementing that part of the IEP. Luckily I didn't have to go through with the suit for compensatory education, but I was so frustrated at the time, I certainly would have. Judy Mrs. XXXXX Director, Special Services Department Dear Mrs. XXXX; As you are aware, there have been many problems with both children’s FM units since the start of the school year (refer to my letters dated September 15, September 21, September 26, October 8 and October 18, copies attached.) Obviously this situation cannot go on. The FM unit (as included in their IEPs) is necessary for XXXX and XXXX to receive an appropriate education -- each day that the unit is not properly functioning, they are not receiving the education that they are entitled to under law. It is a very serious matter, which I cannot ignore. As per my October 18th letter, I offered to bring XXX's FM unit to XXXXX, the school audiologist, after school today. Not only did I not receive the courtesy of a response to that offer, when my father called today to check with you, he was told you said you “were too busy to speak with him because you were filling out a report for the state.” And I actually thought that the education of students was the number one priority of the school district! As far as I am aware, the problems that remain with the FM units are: * The rechargeable batteries in XXXX's unit do not hold the charge the entire day. * The volume setting in XXXX's unit needs to be adjusted to make the teacher’s voice louder (without this adjustment we are defeating the purpose of the unit.) This must be done internally by XXXXX, the school’s audiologist. * XXXXX remains without his student’s mike for nearly two weeks now. I have no desire to continue writing a letter a week and calling regarding FM problems. And I certainly have no desire to bring the district to court for compensatory education, but I will if I have to. I just don’t know what else to do. Would you please give this issue some priority, so the children can hear and learn. I will be happy to help in any way. Regards, Attachments c: XXXXX, Assistant Superintendent of Schools XXXXX, Case Manager XXXXX, President, Board of Education XXXXX, Principal, XXXXXX School XXXXX, Superintendent of Schools [All the teachers involved] --- Celeste wrote: > > > > > > > >After fighting from the end of second grade until > the middle of fifth grade > >for an IEP I was finally successful in getting one > for my son.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 Actually, I didn't have to write the letter. I told them since they were having so much trouble with interpreters that I wanted in summer sessions this year with the TOD and the SPL, and they agreed, wrote it in the IEP and that was that. If anyone has something tho', and would like to share it, I would love to add it to my site!

I try to save them and then thought it would be wonderful if there were a web site that had the letters on it. Then knowing you and Kay decided I should ask as probably one of you already thought of this and were already doing it. I knew Kay had some on there about insurance coverage of aids and that we have some sample IEP's available. I know it takes a lot of time to keep up with all the information and for you and Kay to keep your sites up to date but you are both appreciated very much.

Lori HOH mother of Audrey HOH Gabe's OT services and speech services are both things he is to be doing on the computer. The computer records the day and time he does the exercises. The school is to make sure he has his 20 minutes a day to do them and send me reports each week. I have had nothing since the teacher went on maternity leave. My only documentation would be lack of documentation. The last reports I received are dated about three weeks ago. The teacher told me on the phone she was sorry she hadn't time yet. All other knowledge is from Gabe who tells me the teacher tells him there is no time to do it. Thanks for all the help and comments from everyone. Thanks for the letter Celeste.

So, you have my permission. Thanks Celeste. I've just built a special section on the site for sample complaint letters. Now everyone just has to wait for me to upload the changes. One thing I want to mention to everyone, since the " Your Rights " section of the site is getting so large I've had to move it into its own folder so I can keep track of everything. This means that when I make my next update (I hope to do that later today), all the URLs for any of the pages in this section will change. For a quick correct, make the changes as below: Old URL http://www.listen-up.org/outrageous.htm New URL http://www.listen-up.org/rights/outrageous.htm In other words, between the org/ and the name of the page, insert " rights/ " (without the quote marks). ;-) I'm glad to say it looks like the changeover to the new host for the site has been completed, thank goodness.

If there are other kinds of sample letters people want (like a request for an independent evaluation; request to examine records; notice of disagreement pursuant to a due process hearing request) let me know. I have done all of those, of course, but I developed samples for the work I did for Gally's upcoming website.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2000 Report Share Posted March 6, 2000 thanks Celeste. yes, I've had people ask about all of those. Either way is fine for me. I joined Kay's web server, so I will have a ton or room for stuff, but linking to Gally's site is fine too. Thanks again Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if a page like this existed and thought it would be wonderful if it did. You went from a hope in my mind to reality in just a few days. What a group!!!

There are many things I want to add all the time, and I get so busy that things and ideas slip my mind. It's great when we get these little kick in the pants to remind us some times.
