[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 402476"] They already have a BIP for her and a number of supports, this time they weren't able to avert the meltdown (sometimes they can). The IEP meeting is Tuesday. I'm a bit upset that her therapist wasn't made aware of it, we're hoping her case manager was made aware and will be there. I offered to help with ways to do it but she insists she has to do it the school's way. When I told her she could do it alternate way on another paper and then write it out school's way, she was resistant, saying it wouldn't be allowed. I doubt this is the case exactly, I think she doesn't want to deal with it right now. I will write down those ideas and bring them in, and TeDo, I will get with you on some more ways to help her with this, thanks! I mentioned it to her, and it was when I said you have kids "like her" that she became more open to the idea. I understand her frustration with it, it was a hard thing for me, too. I took a bit longer to "get" division at all. I had to dream about it before it clicked with me, but once I did, I got it totally. A lot of things in algebra I couldn't get done with the book formulas. Don't know why, but when I tried it their way I would not only get the wrong answer, but every time I would get a different wrong answer. Weird, I know. I went to my Dad, who showed me other ways that did click with me, and luckily I had teachers that said as long as I showed my work they didn't care what formula I used (except geometry, which I barely passed). Considering I was on the math team in high school for algebra, you'd think I'd be able to remember more of this stuff! [/QUOTE]
