[QUOTE="terrie f, post: 529405, member: 14580"] hi just to reiterate...there is definitly an iep in place..i requested and recieved new battery of testing for her complete with psychological, we had a team meeting which included the schools Special Education counselor, her teachers and a Special Education teacher and i have a copy of iep. this wasnt done just between counselor and i. its legal and its binding which is why i am so frustrated. it is my understanding that with an iep if child is failing then it should be reviewed and revamped. it feels like i am the only one looking for answers while the school is content to ignore the problem. i actually chiose this school because of the smaller classroom and advertised more one on one capabilities but in my opinion they are looking for children who all are capable of learning the same way. i dont believe all kids learn the same way and it is the teachers job to ensure they are learning and to adapt to the child, maybe i'm wrong but its how i feel. someone mentioned an advocate? how and where do i find one of those? sometimes in these meetings i feel like its me against them. my daughters needs some individualized time, modefied work loads and very detailed instructions, some modified testing and more time to complete assignments. she is capable of learning but gets very overwhelmed, forgets things and has zilch for organizational skills, she doesnt always stay on task so needs redirection and positive reinforcement...sounds like alot but nothing that isnt possible if the teachers are willing i think.
