Mite's classroom teacher will not comply with the IEP's accomodation and modifications section. She says she's too busy. So the district put a specialist in the room 3 hours a week to observe and help with modifications. The specialist has idicated there are so many issues that she's having a hard time figuring out modifications. So far, they send home a LOT of assignments for REDO. That's frustrating Mite and he feels stupid he says.
We have privately done neuropscych and OT evals, but the advocate says the district doesn't have to heed those evals. If they pay for an eval themselves, they have to heed it. Is that true?
Then he seems to have regressed, or at the very best not progressed even as much as a regular 3rd grader in written expression. The team is so proud of themselves that they taught him to "indent, capitalize and add a period". But, they don't notice that his focus on those things has greatly reduced quantity and he's very frustrated with that. Plus, I contend he would have the rules down pat if he didn't have to write by hand.
Anyhow, it's little piddly stuff that's making me nuts right now. The advocate gave me some good laws and phrases to use at the next IEP meeting. So, I'm practicing them. I'd like to see Mite get a laptop, a 1:1 aide and adaptive P.E., too.
rattlin on here...that's the jist of it.
oh and the other post was just a link to a cool blog about a family with 2 prodigy sons and one exceptionally gifted son. The prodigy sons both started talking at around 2 months of age. They live in Singapore. It is a fascinating blog by an exceptionally intelligent father.
