Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Didn't know if you thought of this or not but I did a search under and Knoble for IEPs, the libary may have the books too. Here are some names of books that talk about getting the most out of your meeting. Complete IEP Guide Houw to Advocate for your Special Ed Child by Lawerence Siegel there are two copies Jan 2001 and 2004 $19.99 How well Does IEP Measure Up Quality Indicators for Effective Service Delivery $23.96 Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives $17.50 Sorry I forgot to add the authurs on the last two books. Maloy Judith/Jodi Z. - summer school Judith and Jodi: Judith....I saw your post regarding both and Becca being approved for summer school. I was wondering how tough this was to get approved. I think Jake would really benefit from it, but last week when we were doing Jake's annual IEP, they handed us the brochure (as they must, by law) and sort of glazed over it saying " not that he needs it. " That being said, I have to really admit I hate the whole IEP process. I never feel we get quite as much as I hope for, and always feel " uneducated " in how to correctly maneuver the system. Did you have to put up a big fight, or was it a forgone conclusion for them? When I called for more info. on summer school, they said we needed to prove that he would lose too much ground or that he is on the verge of an emerging skill. Jodi....any advice here....you are the expert? Jake's focus at special ed preschool is: OT (horrible in this area), PT, behavioral issues (he will play beside other kids, but not " with " them; if there is some activity going on in class that he doesn't like he just won't participate; doesn't really like to try new things.) Should I push for summer school? Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Maloy and Alison, Maloy, great idea about the books. You are a GREAT source of written info! I love it when you email me about the new things you find. Alison, I do have the goals and objectives for preschool thru at least grade three. My school only goes up to grade three. If you want a copy of the preschool-age objectives for math, reading, LA, behavior, etc., I can easily make a copy and send them to you. Let me know. Jodi Z.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi Jodi, Would it be possible to get a copy of the preschool goals and objectives you mentioned to Alison. I was speaking with Jordan's teacher who stated that Jordan was only approved for a 10 month program and that summer was not recommended. She said he's doing OK in school - he sits and does his work. But I find the opposite at home. He can't sit still to do any school work. The one thing we agree on though is his behavior/social skills which need work. I would appreciate any advice you have. mom to Jordan 3 y/o Address: 1818 Newkirk Avenue #5T Brooklyn, NY 11226 Home Work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
