Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'm no attorney, but " they " legally cannot simply change the IEP without you - you are a " full and equal " IEP team member, per IDEA. Until and unless a new IEP is agreed upon, and a new NOREP is signed " approved " by you, the most recent approved IEP is in effect (this is called " pendancy " ). Also, the district is required to consider the " least restrictive environment " first; if your son was successful (and you can document this with previous reports/communication, etc.) in an inclusion setting with an aide, then they should be offering a comparable setting. The Procedural Safeguards Notice protects a change in placement - they are required to give a reason for taking an action or refusing to. As I said, I'm no attorney (just a mom with 2 special needs kids!), but it sounds like the district is out of compliance. Many special ed attorneys will provide a free consultation, and/or you might want to talk to an advocate. One piece of advice if you go the attorney route: have your paperwork organized - you don't want to pay them to do that! Good luck! -------------- Original message -------------- From: Jackie B <jbkhelp@...> Lan, Unfortunately, this happens to a lot of people. My advice to you would be to get evaluations done by experts in the field i..e BCBA, neurologist etc. Present this information to them. If they are not accomodating, then you will need a good attorney who can defend your case. If you do not know any attorneys, you can call Cosac for some recommendations. Join parent support groups and you can learn from other parents. Lan Gao wrote: > We just moved to a new school district. We used in Deptford,NJ. Now we moved to Voorhees, NJ. We had IEP in our old school district. My son is PDD. He has been fully mainstreamed in a regular class with an one to one aide since 1st grade. He also has 8 hours after school tutor hours which paid by township. Now the new school doesn't want to give any of this service. They doesn't want to give one-to opne aide and doesn't want to give in-home service. They just want to fit my son in their existing pull out program which is not one to one. They claimed to change my son's IEP to cut all these programs. What can I do to protect my son's right? Do they have right to change my son's IEP in the middle of year? > Any suggestions are appreciated. > Lan > ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _ > Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Mobile.

When I took supplement vacations, I added them back one at a time, so I could determine which one/s he may no longer need. I also started at 1/2 the dose he was on previously.
