Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hello,I need advice about an upcoming IEP meeting Jan 14. Some quick background; This is our 3rd meeting. The other 2 we didn't sign on advice from our Advocate. My son is in 2nd grade, doing poorly in all subjects, has ADHD and PDD-NOS (although I suspect AS), OCD, anxiety, sensory processing disorder and ODD. His learning disabilities are serious. The school is dragging their heels on getting him any real help. At our last IEP, their suggestions were, implementing stickers, high-fives, a chart by his desk and 1 more hour of Power Hour a week. (All the children at his school receive Power Hour). I couldn't believe they were serious. They tried giving us the draft to sign (without going over it!) plus, us parents weren't even allowed to be a part of the planning process. When I tried to voice maybe a 1:1 aide, I was rudely shot down. After the meeting, my Advocate who does this for a living said it was the worst meeting she's ever attended. And I haven't told everything for fear of running on and on.My son has so much anxiety that he won't go to the bathroom or eat, let alone try to learn anything. It was suggested by my Advocate a service called Aefct. It sounds perfect for us, but how do I get the school to agree? Or the school District? In order for Aefct to be done, they have to be contacted by the school, then they go in and set up a minute by minute plan tailored for Dylan's needs.Any ideas are greatly appreciated.Cathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
