Question re: IEP & Social Skills

[Guest guest]

My daughter's school psychologist has recommended my daughter take a social skills class during the entire first period starting asap. She is in the middle of the semester taking a full schedule and switching classes would involve moving her around several classes.

We are supposed to go back to sign the IEP on Thursday.

When the lady from the school called to schedule the appointment she asked me if I was going to sign the IEP, I told her that I did not want my daughter's schedule changed as she is getting A's and B's and she is comfortable in her current classes. I asked if perhaps she could get some assistance during 5th period because she is only an aide that period and she could miss part of that class. They said that they had no other services available besides the class first period. Apparently, they send all aspies to this one class and no deviation.

Is this how it is? Is there anything else that I could possibly ask for. I thought an IEP is individualized and unique to each student. Am I wrong?

She is almost 17 and a Junior in high school. They did the testing last school year but just notified me a couple weeks ago that they feel she shows signs of aspergers when it comes to social skills.

Any suggestions?
