Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hi everyone, We have a dilemma. Currently my son is in the third grade. He is doing very well. He is average or above average in every subject. He is doing exceptionally well in math and reading. He is receiving speech therapy and O/T under an IEP according to the IDEIA regulations. The school has just completed his 3 year evaluations. He scored above the 50th percentile in all areas except 1. Which is no big deal. So the school wants to drop his special education qualification and switch him to a 504. They also want to drop his speech therapy and contiue with a reduced amount of OT. He still has some OT issues. Of course, we would like to remain under the protection of the IDEIA regulations as they provide for the establishement of therapy goals, written notice for meetings and/or changes to his therapy, regular updates etc. A 504 plan offers none of that. Any suggestions on how to remain under the IDEIA regulations would be greatly appreciated as my wife and I can find defensible postion to justify staying with an IEP given 's progress and achievements. Thanks Ken M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
