???? Californian Standards Test / California Modified Assessment

[Guest guest]

My

son's school is telling me that that based on his scores on the Californian Standards Test last year, he is eligible to take the California Modified Assessment this year. They want me to agree to amend his IEP... in it they have indicated that my son's behavior does not impede the learning process, which I completely disagree with.

My son is eight yrs old with dx HFA. The school has refused to accept his dx and qualified him for special education services based on ADHD, as they feel he does not meet the educational dx for Autism. He is in a mainstream classroom.

My concern is they are providing very little service for him at this time and I would much rather he gets tested with the same assessment as his peers so it will accurately reflect his areas of struggle to ensure he gets the help he needs.

I would appreciate any feed back and advise as this is all new to me.

Thanks,

Yeme
