Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Gulp! I feel for you guys at this point. Although in essence it is great news, you're right about about losing your safety net. I imagine it feels like walking blindfolded off of a cliff. I'm dreading the day when Olivia loses her IEP and one on one aide... All the best.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 hi ken, i know what you mean my son jacob at9 is doing muxh better in school his teachers are so happy to see his improvement and they stoped his speech but will wacth him in that area i keep thinking i am happy too but am also afride that they will take away his iep i dread his next one coming up..........so i am happy to see kevin is doing better but yes i know what it is to think what if it is no longer there to help cara mom to jacob kmerrith wrote: Hi everyone, Its official, is no longer considered Special Needs by the school system. We had our last IEP meeting today. After reviewing s progress (grades, evaluation results, observation from special educator, OT, Speech therapist), we can see that has very few issues left. The ones he does have do not impact his academic performance. That is the legal requirement to keep him on an IEP under the IDEA laws. He scored above the 60th percentile on every evaluation except one. His grades are all above grade level. He has met all of his Speech Therapy goals. He still needs some OT. The school agreed in writing to continue OT, to provide regular progress reports, established goals (pretty vague but OK), and to have an annual meeting under an ADA section 504 plan. Essentially an IEP but less retrictive. It also brings in line with providing his education in the Least Restricive Environement (LRE) requirement. While it is great news, we are still concerned about moving to 4th grade in a new school building with a new team. We were hoping to keep him on an IEP until October but we can see, that he really doesn't qualify anymore and really hasn't for almost a year. So, after this year, no more safety net for . Time to have dinner. Ken M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
