[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 417774, member: 7948"] Most teachers like you, in my experience, are muzzled by their school district if they start making noises like a kid shouldn't be exited, denied services or should be receiving services and are not. However, if this is not what will happen in your case, you could always approach the parents and offer to help them interpret test scores or go to the IEP meeting with them. Perhaps you could have an informal talk with the school psychologist about these kids and your concerns since you are familiar with the situation. If they choose to, the school psychiatric can strongly influence the outcome of the findings of the IEP meeting by the things they decide to assess and the position they take on eligibility or need for services/supports. If the school psychiatric is likely to be unaware of the big picture then I would think you could share your insights without violating confidentiality. And since you're a teacher at the same school that issue may not even arise - I don't know about that "technicality". If you think this is going to put your job or performance reviews in jeopardy is there someone else, not a teacher in your district, that you know who could do this? A couple years ago a friend connected me to a wonderful woman who had taught math for years. Because she was a teacher in a completely different district she was free to help me when I was having trouble getting our district to write appropriate math goals for my kids. She even attended an IEP meeting with me and helped me re-write the district goals to be more appropriate and measurable, etc. Patricia [/QUOTE]
