Again-- ask where they are in the process.


Understand, also-- that while RTI is an appropriate thing in suspected LD's under an IEP, it's NOT okay with a condition that requires "accommodations" or a change in placement-- both of which have to be determined to be "needed" by a group/team.

I'm pretty sure that dysgraphia can't be considered a thing that could be "remediated" so much as a stable thing that is "accommodated" by modifications to policies/practices/procedures. In that instance, you're not looking at "what progress has the student made toward goal X as we've done Y and Z" but "is this working for the student so that s/he has the same access as unaffected peers?"

(Not sure if I'm explaining that well-- but the point is that access-based interventions like that aren't necessarily things that have to be empirically determined-- get the right people together in a room around a table, and they can KNOW what to do for that student. Because the impairment is stable and predictable.)

If RTI is being invoked, then they've already started the process. So the real question is then-- why aren't they telling YOU that? (That's the part where legality gets weird here.)
