Hey Team:
My difficult child is SOOOO pleased that he will be moving to the reg ed high school. I am less excited. His time at the special school has been good. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
So, tomorrow I am at the High School tomorrow for an IEP meeting and to set his schedule.
I could use everyone's help. I cannot get my brain around what accomodations to the reg ed program can be made in order to help transition.
I remember things like:
Preferential seating
Extra time on tests
Study guides?
One catch is this------------ His present school and I both feel that he needs to be VERY challenged academically inorder to keep focused. He also needs a class with serious learners. He is motivated to explore subject matter and advance the teachers lesson. He achieves well academically. This kind of class will not have in class support. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for any help. My difficult child is sensing my hesitation and is translating this as a lack of my confidence in readiness. I think if we have a good plan I can be more assured and not 'stress him out.'
