Hi
Just doing some further thinking for my 504 vs. IEP meeting coming up on Thursday (see previous posts, Martie and Sheila, thanks alot!) . One of the arguments the SD director trots out for not having 1 on 1 aides is that they lead to dependency.
I see that the regs called for interventions supported by research. Now I bet there is no research one way or the other on this topic. And I would think that the easiest comeback to give is well, not if you have properly trained aides who are given instruction on how to assist children with LDs. In addition the aides who worked with my other son last year would often incorporate another child or two into the small group work so that it would be less like my son was being singled out.
Have any of you run into this argument? Any snappy answers?
Fed up.
Thanks
Chris
