[QUOTE="jannie, post: 149181, member: 2074"] What an impressive academic update !!! Kudos to KT and the entire team. You made a wise choice in stopping the IEP meeting as to give some extra time to make decisions. It is a major transition to go from a self-contained day treatment program (am I correct in assuming her current school is a self-contained, separate school program) into a typical high school setting with special education support. As you know there are advantages and disadvantages to either setting. I know the team will make sure she continues to have intensive support in the high school setting both during structured and unstructred times.. I like the idea of a split day setting...Make sure they have someone available to give the academic accommodations on a daily basis. Is there someone available to scribe for KT during assessment activities...will copies of notes be made available? Are there other students in the day treatment program functioning as well as her academically? It is also important to say that there are many kids than can make great academic gains with supported instruction, however can not perform nearly as well on an independent less supported environment. I teach a self-contained grade 3 math class and my kids do very well on the grade level assessments because the instruction is intense, individualized, and repetititve. However, when they are in the large classroom environment...they do poorly due to distractions and differentiated instruction. They would not be able to maintain grade level status if they were in the larger classroom setting. How does she function socially in the day treatment compared to others? The social emotional piece as you know is so important as the high school setting has kids of so many ages and so many different levels of maturity. I hope you don't mind my input...I know I'm preacing to the choir...she's come so far !!!! And I know you all want this to continue !! It sounds like KT has the same worries and fears as the rest of the team. One minute she says it's social suicide the next minutes she's excited to have all of these new opportunities. I'm sure good decisions will be made...Fingers crossed all goes well. Hugs to you and your family....so many posts have been so positive lately about the tweedles !!! Wishing you Linda--positive healing thoughts !! [/QUOTE]
