[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 248970, member: 23"] There are all types of services available to kids with IEPs. And frankly, by law, it doesn't matter if your child needs something specific which the sd doesn't offer. I mention this because parents are often told "we don't do that here." IEP = Individual Education Program The Supreme Court has defined it to mean "Required that the program that was developed would be "individualized," "personalized," "tailored," and "specially designed" to meet the "unique needs" of that one child. "The purpose of the IEP is to tailor the education to the child; not tailor the child to the education. If the child could fit into the school's without assistance, special education would not be necessary." [House Report 105-95 at p. 104]." You might check your State Education Agency website and also your school district's website. At one time I thought our son may have dyslexia and we were getting no help from the sd. Our school district's website didn't have anything on dyslexia, but TEA had a lot of information about the Dyslexia program. I wouldn't have known it existed if I hadn't camped out at the TEA website for a good while. lol But even with that, if the program that's in place is not what a student needs, they are entitled to "unique" placement.
