Subject: [ ] need some advise about Stay Put RULE

I have a child with verbal apraxia, and the school now wants to decuct the

services and change the placement to speech class and 10m/speech , and this

class group also for only 2and half hours, this was happened last week, my

daughter is a smat one, and they did full assessement for her after we

requesting more speech, and then they said she needs to move from gregualr

general education class to be in speech class with special teacher, group 11

kids, this is horrible.

I asked them why you want to change the services they said your daughter needs

intensive therapy and this is what we offer now.

I actually disagree with them, and said I will not do this , means STAY PUT on

the old IEP, which says 20m/3 times individuel , 25m/group and one hour private,

as she had done an ear surgery last year, also english is my second language.

Now we cant understand what is going on, and we are worry about STAY PUT, is

there any risk, also we asked them for this, the school SLP said NO , I will

work on the old goals, and I might see her The same amount of time.

NOW what we can do, why they did this with us, we only feel that our daughter

need some services, as we watched some bad behaivours in home, eating papers, so

we asked about the full assessement.

PLEASE TELL DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG??????

OR NOT ILLEAGAL.

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING< if they dont want to add services, why they change the

placement and services, also she achieved her goals in this envirnoment.
