I know you've done a thorough job here Blackcat. I bet the OT is frustrated with this teacher too! When teachers don't "buy in" it's really hard to get the programs implemented. And a slant board is not that hard to implement!
I know and it makes me wonder if she is doing anything at all for DS, either in terms of the IEP/special needs or the giftedness.
He also is not being pulled out for service minutes for his IEP, other than possibly being pulled out by the occupational therapist once since we signed the IEP a month ago. The rest of them aren't doing anything, as far as I can tell. I wrote an email saying that DS claims that he is not being pulled for services. I asked what exactly is going on, and stated "I hope I don't need to call the State and/or the special ed director again."
No response, other than from the OT (who I didn't email, so obviously my emails are being forwarded all around again). I'm tired of playing nicey-nice with everyone and I'm done. If the teacher does not give me an acceptable response, I'm calling the special ed director, and if that doesn't help, I'm going to have to file a formal complaint with the State. The whole situation with that school is crazy and bizarre. I first talked with them last spring after he had a TBI about needing his services/IEP updated and now here we are about 9 months later and STILL nothing is happening. So it makes me wonder why i'm even bothering about DD and a 504. He figured out that I need to sign a form and he sent it to me, but I'm not going to sign it til I know if I'm going to pull the kids out this year. I think I may have to at least pull DS.
