[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 245442"] I am SOOOO ANGRY. The past few algebra tests difficult child would go in early or stay after school to complete the test. Or spend the next day's break or lunch doing this. This past Friday he was really upset that he couldn't finish the test. The Special Education teacher (I am not to fond of) observed the class. She told him NO, he cannot have extra time and he cannot come in to complete. He CAN retake any test if he gets 70% or less. I emailed the program director. She is the one who ran the IEP meeting. I asked her why the portion regarding extra time for tests was removed. I do not recall discussing that. She writes back that the portion that was removed regarding extra time was in reference to the State Tests only. And she has no idea why it was removed. She says they (sd) must go by what was documented on the last evaluation. I reply stating the last evaluation was done two years ago by the school district. it is stated very clearly that he has difficulty writing. And with her (school psychologist) observation it looks as if he is actually in pain. Her recommendations for computer use and alpha smart. Ok - now after that, SD doesn't want to go by that evaluation. Now they want to send me papers to sign to release so they can speak to his new therapist. I told her that I signed a release at school and at therapist's office. therapist spoke to the principal already. However phone calls are not covered by insurance (I had no idea about this). The one call cost me well over $100 and I cannot afford that. I asked what documentation she would like and I would speak to therapist to see if he can supply the information. Then she writes that the Special Education teacher notified her several weeks ago thinking it would be a good idea for difficult child to have an alpha smart. difficult child wants one. Heck, he said he would take notes then. Well, sd writes back and says it is not a good idea to use this in high school. The kids need to move on. It would be a better idea for him to use the computers in the resource room. I replied that would be wonderful if he could just pick up and take that computer to class to take notes on. Currently he takes NO notes. If he were able to type he may take notes. No guarantee. She will look into it. Now TODAY I logon and Math teacher emails me. Says she can no longer allow difficult child to complete his tests as he has done in the past. WHAT??? So if he doesn't write fast enough he fails? He had no problem with multiple choice or computer tests, it is the actual physical writing that takes him much longer. He has been going in the next day all year for math when he doesn't finish. I know exactly what will happen now. He will just put anything down - or half of what he is suppose to so he can finish. Now what?? [/QUOTE]
