[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 212730, member: 2423"] The counseling my M is getting under her 504 sounds similar to L's. Here's what I know (and perhaps Sheila will correct me when she checks in): Getting to the bottom of why a child is not reading is very difficult. It takes a very good evaluation -- preferably with a knowledgeable private speech and language pathologist -- to figure it out. The kind of evaluations the SD does are not enough. The type of reading problem then determines the specific reading interventions. Some interventions (for example, Orton-Gillingham or Wilson Reading) are more appropriate for one type of reading problem than another. While it's always preferable to have an IEP over a 504 plan (more protection), my understanding is that some SDs may choose one method of remediating reading when your child may require another intervention. I understand from some parents in my SD that it's been challenging to prove their children need an intervention other than what the SD is serving up. Obviously, I have no idea what occurs in your SD. I still would push for an IEP, especially because L's not decoding words. That way she will have measurable goals (something that's not in a 504), and the SD is responsible if she's not meeting her measurable goals. Under what grounds was L recently denied an IEP? [/QUOTE]
