[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 407469, member: 1169"] Dear Special Education teacher, At the IEP meeting, there was agreement among all present that Bubby was to have a keyboard/portable word processor accommodation for all classes. While Occupational Therapist (OT) and Austism specialist have valuable input, since the school did not include them on the IEP team (they were not at the meeting), they do not have the legal authority to override the IEP team. I expect that Bubby will have an AlphaSmart or similar device made available to him for all classes no later than Monday, February 21. This accomodation was agreed upon in December and the teachers that have not been allowing him to use a keyboard/portable word processor are in violation of his IEP. I will call you on Monday to confirm that this was addressed with all of Bubby's teachers and that the AlphaSmart was provided for his use. Also, to avoid this problem in the future I must insist on being given the written copy of his IEP prior to leaving the meeting so that I have the opportunity to review it for accuracy in a timely manner. Thank you so much for your help in this matter, Mrs. WearyWoman *********************************** Be prepared for them to push back, but just stay calm and insistant that the IEP team agreed to this and that their poor record keeping does not allow them to change this later. If they keep insisting that they will not do it, call for an IEP meeting (actually try to make them call for an IEP meeting). At 9 years old, you have many years ahead of you with this district. Calm, polite stubborness is necessary. [/QUOTE]
