[QUOTE="klmno, post: 387547, member: 3699"] Yes, it's about $$ and getting people who have real common sense working with the kids at school, in my humble opinion. IEPs are obviously crucial for certain disabilities but then for other students, like mine, that doesn't have a diagnosis'd Learning Disability (LD) or extreme disability, that IEP is more to get emotional support that most good teachers with common sense would pick up on and do anyway. I might not be communicating that very well- I'm not saying these kids don't need the IEP, they do, but they might be able to survive without it if we had more caring people in the sds who weren't just concentrating on overcrowded classrooms and $$. It shouldn't have to be written in an IEP that my son is going for a certain diploma in order to force a sd to offer regular academic core classes to him. It shouldn't have to be written in an IEP that your daughter needs support at school. Unfortunately, that is the world we live in though. I almost made the mistake you are talking about last year because difficult child hated being on an iep, we thought he'd come a long way, and I had about convinced myself at that point that his only issues were defiance- until he was released and did all that stuff. After learning this stuff this week, I'll make sure mys on stays on it until he's at least half-way thru 12th grade when he's due to be evaluation'd for it again. [/QUOTE]
