[QUOTE="Shari, post: 374395, member: 1848"] Partial days and musical staff. lol That's basically it. These people are clueless. In their defense, they truly are. But they have done nothing to find that clue, either, so I ran out of sympathy. They are doing a dyslexic phonics program with him. He was in self contained full time, but now, according to the school's proposed iep, will get his sped minutes cut in half, and put in gen ed the remainder of the half day that he's there, with FIVE different paras supporting him for the THREE hours he's in gen ed or at lunch/recess. They are offering weekly...150 min written expression, 150 min math, 150 min interpersonal skills (that's 30 min a day, folks); 175 min in reading (35 min daily), 60 min Occupational Therapist (OT) (12 min daily) and a para for 575 min (not quite 2 hours daily). Other than that, he gets modified assignments, a scribe, is supposed to be allowed to keyboard and not write, and...I think that's about it. Its pretty much sad. I just got off the phone with the advocates, rehashing the list. The new one was pretty adamant about backing off full days and I told her no way. She wanted the "step up" plan again, where he starts where the school wants and they add an hour here or there. I told her no. His best chance of coping with a full day is right now, and if we wait til the seasonal **** starts again to put him on a full day, the school will just say "see!??! He can't hack it."
