Hi All!Just wondering what everyone's school day will look like as far as hours per day at school? Freddie has a lot of private services at home and I am just wondering how many hours legally he must be in school daily. Is this something you work out during your IEP? I can't find anything online. s Law doesn't have anything, or at least I can't find anything?Freddie is entering 5th grade in an inclusive program. Our 5th grade is included in our middle school.It's rough to spend the whole day at school then come home and be expected to work more. We rely on our tutors for Freddie's Math and Reading. After working in and sending Freddie to public school, we have given up on the public education system all together. The social piece is great but as far as

actually educating ouk kids, uh yeah, no. Sad.nnaMommy to

Freddie 11yrsFull Inclusion - Onto 5th Grade!

I want to be the kind of mom who makes the devil, every morning, say "oh crap, she's up."

From what I've seen it varies in different school districts. For my son with Down syndrome, I was able to give a written statement from his doctor saying he needed these therapies and then the therapists wrote a similar letter and but also said their availability which was during school hours.

For my son with autism (for those w/a dual diagnosis), there is a law/HB in the autism supplement allowing the child to be pulled for therapies and no minimal amount of public school time required. The school districts hate this!! I wish it was a law for all kids with special needs.
