Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi, We are dealing with IEP's at the moment for my kindergarten child labeled by the school as 'possibly autistic'. He is in a special day class, i.e not mainstream. so far, we have had one IEP meeting where they handed us the IEP draft with goals for next year. I have written out a document with adjustments and additions to the IEP goals and scheduled a second meeting. This way it gave us some time to think about what we really want for him and what is best for him, before signing anything. I will provide the written copy of the adjustments that we would like at the 2nd meet. You can always take an educational consultant or a private speech and/or OT, who may be working with your child to advocate and for your child's need. > > Hello, > > I have a 5 year old child with Autism who is age eligible for kindergarten coming fall. However I would like to request for Preschool exemption (LCPS) to give him an opportunity to work specifically on his functional communication, which right now he is lacking enormously. My question is, how can I phrase or word these functional goals, so that they explicitly indicate that the ECSE classroom is the best place to teach him this goal. > > for ex: The student should be able to independently request information from adults and peers by asking 7 Wh questions (i.e what, which, who, whose, where, when, why) for 4 out of 5 opportunities per day for 3 consecutive days. > > Right now, my son doesn't ask any questions using any of Wh questions.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Don't know where you are, but here the school system is a difficult if not impossible hurdle to maneuver. I am so glad it's not that difficult everywhere.
