[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 183403, member: 23"] Do not limit the evaluation in any way. If you mention "Learning Disability (LD)," that's all that will get done. IEP = Individual Education Plan One purpose of IDEA "...is to ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a [FAPE] that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living." 20 U.S.C. 1400(d)(1)(A). An IEP is not a cookie-cutter document. It is not the action of transferring a student from one pre-designed education curriculum to another. An 'appropriate IEP' has been defined by the United States Supreme Court as one that is 'individualized,' 'tailored,' 'personalized,' and 'specially designed' to meet the [B]unique needs of the individual child [/B]who is the subject of the educational plan and at no cost to the parent. There are many, many children in the same situation as this child. Too many school districts will do just enough to get by. Parents have to stay on top of the child's progress. Having meaningful progress reports in increments of 6 - 9 weeks written into the IEP. Learn how to read and understand test measurements. Measure progress objectively by requesting normed testing at least annually. I swear people think I'm kidding when I say that I am parenting my child even when he's at school. lol But it's almost another full time job to stay on top of this stuff. [/QUOTE]
