My son's psychologist believes the testing I put my child through this summer is enough to request an IEP from my son's High School. Said that I shouldn't wait for the SST meeting, and that a 504 wasn't what was needed. Even though my daughter had a IEP from the time she was 4 I never actually wrote this letter. She entered K with a speech/language IEP that was modified in 2nd grade to include a more general LD.
I know there are web-sites that give sample letters, any recommendations? Since this is a 2E situation is there something different I should try and say in the letter? How much do I say about the nero psyc report? Do I include it or just mention it and wait for their response. I assume I send a copy to the school psychologist, my son's counselor, and perhaps the vice-principal?
I'm nervous because this school gave me a LOT of grief about my DD's IEP because she was doing so 'well' in H.S. passing all her classes with C's. We are looking for accommodations like extra time for writing assignments, requesting that tests have more weight attached to it more along the lines of the gifted classes(more weight assigned to tests and less to rote homework), keyboards allowed/used for all long writing assignments. Do I request the accommodations at this time? Or wait till we have a meeting.
