Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Those types of accomodations should be in his IEP. I don't undersatand why they can't accomodate our kids. Math is one area. If reading is an issue then he should get help. It does not affect his math knowledge. Meaning being read a ? is fine. After all math is about math knowledge not reading. Tell your teacher to get a clue. I'm fed up w/ it in general. Now at some point during reading time he may need to attempt it on his own in order to test his reading skills. However a child should never be made to suffer. What are they doing to teach him reading? ly I'd be ticked off. a > How would you handle this one??? > Matt (8 yr old AS) has an aid for his inclusion classes. Last week he > had a math test.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 They are trying to get him to read but he has some type of visual encoding problem. I'll be honest I don't really understand. Last year he was behind but do able. This year is just a mess. It's like he is going back wards. We just redid his IEP but I think it needs redone again. Especially if he is going to have a full time aid. ( ) Re: aides Those types of accomodations should be in his IEP. I don't undersatand why they can't accomodate our kids. Math is one area.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 these accomodations need to be spelled out!! teh teacher must know it is ok fo rht eaid to read teh questions (and if needed even to explain them!) and taht you may write his answers ...... I do that too for my son. we gave teh school a letter from the OT stating that for the time being wirting is such a deterrant that he may completey give up studying, whereas if someone writes fro him (he dictates) then he studies willingly. He is also allowed to take teh workl (even a test) elsewhere with his aide if he can't bare teh nise in the class etc. but this is all written down, AND spelled out to each teacher that goes into his class. F -- ( ) Re: aides How would you handle this one??? Matt (8 yr old AS) has an aid for his inclusion classes. Last week he had a math test. They are doing word problems. He also has a learning disabiity and can't read. His aid read the problems to him and he did the math. The teacher got mad and said he was cheating. Needless to say it caused a very bad day. The same teacher corrected me for writing his answers for him. He is already stressed because of the reading and getting him to do his homework is almost impossible. He did the work he just wouldn't do the writing. Should I talk to his math teacher directly of let his AS Support Teacher do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 We are in the process of rewriting his IEP. >His TSS (Aid) needs to observe and then >we need to meet as a team to come up with a plan >then we present it to the teacher >then we present it to the school etc etc etc..... It is so frustrating - I feel like I have to fight for everything and that no one understands. This group has been such a boost for my moral. ( ) Re: aides How would you handle this one???

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Actually, the aide is just the conduit. The modifications and any other needs should be detailed in the IEP. The aide would then perform anything in the IEP that needs to be carried out. Roxanna ö¿ö Autism happens...

That is why he has an aide to help him out. That aide I suppose depending on the state has the right to modify tests work, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
