[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 375648, member: 1233"] I usually ended up having to keep on the school staff after an IEP meeting like that. They tried to slide out of doing things because "there wasn't time" or "he wouldn't let me" or "I was too busy today". I politely suggested reading a book on time management, reading "the Explosive Child" and Love and Logic books, even offering to loan them my copies for a couple of weeks. I also did not let them slide even for a day or two because the few times I did they then let all accommodations slide using those excuses until I realized what was going on. Be SURE to go in and get a copy of her IEP in a month or so. Tell them your copy got ruined, or whatever. Compare your copy to their copy at home - I got a giant surprise when I took Wiz' IEP to the psychiatric hospital in 6th grade. The sp ed teacher had added several pages that took ALL supports and limits away other than letting him spend time in her room on the computer whenever he wanted. He was to have NO computer because he was getting reality and fantasy (pokemon esp) confused a LOT. This was a MAJOR contributor to his problems, probably what tipped him over the edge into fantasyland. She even tried to forge my initials but was too dumb to get them right. Since then I go in and get a copy of each IEP about a month or two after I sign it. One other time they had another paper slipped into it, like a filing error, but it negated one of the accommodations -letting him go to the sp ed room at any reasonable time to print out something to turn in that was on his AlphaSmart (meaning time when the students were working independently or in groups and he had most of the task done). The time that we meant was written into the IEP but the note said that he would print all assignments before or after school and never during the school day. He wasn't organized enough to do this and he had to ride the bus - his came to school just a few minutes before the bell and left about 5 min after school ended, meaning he had NO time to print anything. A VP had written it (I knew his handwriting) and we had words about it. He said Wiz was using it to roam the halls. I asked if his work was done, and it was, and where the supervision was to keep him on task when he went to print stuff. VP turned bright red because he didn't have a clue about any of it, just got annoyed one day with Wiz (which was very easy to do, of course!). The note was removed and destroyed, and when Wiz needed to print he was given a specific time to be back and the teacher called ahead to the Sp Ed room so they expected him. Anyway, be SURE to keep on top of them until you are positive that they will do ALL that is required. None of your accommodations are unreasonable. In fact, some of them should be done for most students, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
