[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 359592, member: 805"] No, her rights are not being denied, as JJJ has said. The school obviously has a program in place to handle the needs of any of their Special Education children. While some may say from the outside that the school has created an aura of eliteness in the looping classrooms, the school probably has found this is a great alternative as the "push in" issue, which I believe is really partially a collaborative method, works best when the "main" teacher is Learning Disability (LD) sensitive and aides and Special Education teachers work hand in hand. My difficult child's middle school does 100% collab rather than resource and it is very successful. There are just some teachers that are better at accommodating the needs of Special Education students as well. I, as a parent, would be very confident knowing my child was going to be in a classroom with a teacher that had a history of working with other children who learn differently. And, as much as transitions are difficult for children with special needs, her daughter will adjust and the school has her reading scores so the new teacher will know the student's needs before school even opens in the fall. Not to mention that teachers very often discuss students that have "out of the norm" issues when they are moving up. And, in some cases the parent's nervousness or protectiveness can cloud the issue. Not saying that is the case here, but from all you have said over the past few years, your school is defiantly one of the good ones. I would be confident with what they were offering. Sharon [/QUOTE]
