Update Tyler's IEP

[Guest guest]

Well, I had Tyler's 2nd IEP yesterday. This one went much better

then the last one. We meet with our home school district this time.

They are looking into bringing Tyler into our middle school. It will

be hard for him. The class is for students that have IQ's over 80.

Tyler's IQ for math is in the 80's but language is in the mid 70's.

I know this class very well; my oldest son is in it this year. I

really like the teachers; they take time to find out what the

children's strengths and weaknesses are. Then they work on building

their weakness while keeping there strengths. The class has no more

then 12 students with 1 teacher and 1 special education teacher along

with an aid. Troy's class has 7 kids, and that was a lot compared to

other years. It is broken up by grade, not 3 grades in one like the

class that Tyler is in now. They have one teacher for math and

science and another for English and social studies. Some of the

kids, the ones that need more help, also have a support class with a

special education teacher to work on their weaknesses. All other

classes are with the " regular " students. We are praying that this

will happen. Thank you all for your advice.
