[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 239483, member: 23"] Good question. I've yet to find many sd's that always properly identify and/or qualify sp ed students and then implement the IEP as written. Ideally, the related service would be a recommendation in one or more professional and sd evaluations and all IEP members would agree to it. When I brought this up related to difficult child and developing appropriate social skills, their recommendations was for parents to enroll him in baseball, karate, or boy scouts -- whatever alievated them from expending time or expense. difficult child was already in baseball and an after school program for just this reason -- developing social skills. I wanted a specific social skills program. "Oh, we do that everyday -- take advantage of each "teaching moment." ACK! with-mom pulling hair out. I just hate it when they act dense..... In my case, 20 referrals for hitting, yadda, yadda, "proved" the case. Well, not really. Social skills training was rejected more than once by sd because difficult child didn't need it. So finally I said something to the effect of, "Super. I feel so much better knowing that I won't be receiving anymore phone calls from you regarding referrals about inappropriate social behaviors." And actually, the sd reports and private reports had all recommended social skills training.... Do some research with- key words like "equestrian IEP related service" and see if you can find something that will help answer your question. Also, I believe I've read something at [url]www.wrightslaw.com[/url] on this topic. Just because an activity or training isn't on a related service list and is outside the norm doesn't mean it's not a "related service." [/QUOTE]
