[QUOTE="Martie, post: 153964, member: 284"] What is in an IEP is a TEAM decision and you are a full participating member of the team. The BEST way to get what you want is ask for it via the SMART IEP format (see [url]www.wrightslaw.com[/url]) If they will not do what you think is appropriate, then build in a VERY strong, OBJECTIVE evaluative component. The law supports the inclusion of this. Give it 4 weeks; if they cannot PROVE progress to MEASURABLE goals in that time, ask for another meeting and say, "This did not work according to the data you collected. There needs to be more effective instruction." If you do this consistently AND complain all the way to the State Board of Ed if they will not modify an INeffective IEP, eventually, you will get what you want. This is the biggest mistake I made with my ex-difficult child. However, the law was a bit different when he was in middle school AND I was not savvy enough to get his problems into measurable goals. I accepted their "clinical judgment" of his improvement even while he obviously got worse. That was a big mistake. It is easier to write measurable academic objectives, but not impossible for ANYTHING. Martie [/QUOTE]
