[QUOTE="slsh, post: 122592, member: 8"] Hi and welcome! I'm no expert but I think the school is giving you a line. A child who is receiving Occupational Therapist (OT) services 2 x a week should have an IEP, not a 504. I'm pretty sure about that. I'm glad you're going to post over in Sped 101 - they really know their stuff. Given your description and the results of prior independent evaluations, in my humble opinion there's no question your son should have an IEP with supportive services. You might consider sharing the full evaluations you have had done - the picture they suggest is a kiddo who needs not only Occupational Therapist (OT) but ST, PT, probably academic supports, and probably social supports. While I tend to be a cynic when it comes to dealing with districts, it's possible if they saw the whole picture they might be more amenable to providing appropriate services.... though I'd be ready for a battle and keep that advocate's # handy. I must admire your restraint. Personally, I would have jumped all over therapist. ;) The IEP is not about other students and related special education services are not (supposed to be) triaged. I also would have insisted that her comments be documented so that should educational difficulties arise in the future, it would be clearly documented that the SD failed to appropriately listen to an IEP team member (that would be you) about his *current* needs. But... I have low tolerance for this junk! :) Again - welcome and glad you found us!! [/QUOTE]
