The only catch is they called it an "all or nothing IEP"...meaning that if for any reason this gifted class does not work out and we pull him from the class, then he loses his Speech services and his whole IEP.
Hmph.
I'd ask for an explanation of THAT one--
in writing.I suspect that would be considered a violation of federal law, since it would be a unilateral placement change without any meeting or changes to the IEP.
It's also openly coercive in terms of placement. Which is, in and of itself, a big no-no.
Under IDEA, you are part of the team that makes decisions about placement.
