Re: Minor compliance issues.. reason for SD to disagree to typical class placement?

[Guest guest]

The best reason a school can give is that your child is impacting the

education of other students or the teacher does not have time

to support your child. Your argument can be that the school is not

trying to provide a least restrictive environment by not even trying

a mainstream setting.

Many school districts have at each grade level a mainstream

class designated with a second teacher to help mainstream

special education kids.

No, it's not a good reason to deny a regular ed placement. Be sure and

get everything in writing from them. You can disagree with the

placement decision and ask for regular placement with an aide. If they

refuse, get in writing their reasons for refusing. You can read more

disagree to typical class placement?

If your child (3yo) has minor compliance issues, would that be good

reason for SD to deny your child class placement with typical peers

(mainstream/inclusion)?

Basically, my son needs a few reminders and prompts/redirection to

complete tasks (that he does not prefer, like craft projects). Other

than that, he has no behavioral issues, is high functioning, very

advanced academically, generally an easygoing and happy little boy.

I think the area that he needs most help in is developing/increasing

social skills/socialization and a typical class would be most

appropriate for him.

Thanks.

I believe the Special Ed Regs specify it has to be the " least restrictive environment " which would mean a classroom of peers with an aide, if necessary.

Obviously, this school is going to argue that this is not the LRE. The

LRE is not any one place because it will vary depending on the needs of

the child in question.
