[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 147203, member: 1169"] Of course placement is an IEP issue. Be sure to have the IEP team describe in detail the kind of program she needs (basically describing the current school) and include that an all-day program was discussed and determined inappropriate to meet her emotional/behavioral needs. While, in theory, her placement in "special education Kindergarten" would give the district the freedom to put her either place, a very detailed list of what is necessary in her program should eliminate any other place from consideration. Be sure to be very detailed. Both Kanga and Eeyore had non-IEP placement changes forced on me (when I was first learning to navigate IEP-land many years ago) because we weren't detailed enough in our description of the program, we just said he'd go to "developmental kindergarten", well they changed the definition of developmental kindergarten to be inclusion instead of self-contained -- you think that would be a major change, yes?? They didn't. So now I make sure it says exactly what subjects and how many minutes of instruction are provided in each environment (self-contained v. inclusion). Unless that "IEP expert" is on her IEP team, they don't get a vote (other than what influence they hold over her IEP members). [/QUOTE]
