[QUOTE="buddy, post: 556717, member: 12886"] Does your daughter's case manager know about this? If this was one of my kids (as an iep manager ) I'd want to know so i could be educating this teacher on individual expectations and what her responsibility is. I'd find out what her concerns are and help her see the light (smile) hopefully in a way thay leaves her feeling supported in her future better efforts! If you like or trust your daughter's case mgr then it might be a quick way to start. If the mgr doesn't get it then I'd still meet with the teacher alone but go with the advocate for the IEP meeting to make sure. In the mom role I have heard this many times too. Science was a class he loves though he could never do the written tests and social studies....he looks things up from class on the computer on his own later, and talks about the topics ...again, can't do the reading or tests independently and it would seem he was getting nothing but I reminded the teachers that the goals for him were to be with peers and to learn anything! I let them know that it was hard to measure what he knows ..he often talks about parts of things they learned weeks later! One other thought ...do you know if the aide HAS to help that much or does she not know how to support her....she may be able to cut back or do the beginning of a step and have difficult child finish or just coach her. Maybe a peer partner would help. Notes can be taken by giving a good student who volunteers a notebook that makes copies or copying his or her notes a few times per week. For sure your daughter deserves to stay. I hope it works out for her. [/QUOTE]
