[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 566700, member: 8831"] least restrictive environment. (LRE) iep dictates services and modifications needed for the child, not the program itself. she is in a pretty restrictive environment now--*THEY* need to justify *WHY* she needs this placement. if she needs an aide to succeed in mainstream classes, then so be it. heck, she can be in honors classes with an aide if thats where she needs to be. its pretty difficult to justify a small group placement and mainstream in the same breath because that exists in very few places. she is eligible for whatever supports she needs to be in a LRE---they cant just say, oh, we dont have one-to-ones in mainstream reading in the 9th grade. in fact, if she ONLY needs a one-to-one to be able to attend that one class per day, they need to provide it. when was her last trienneal review? do you have current testing to help guide you on what services she might need for success? like, does she use an FM system if she has an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD)? again, not something that needs a special classroom for--no reason it cant be used anywhere in the building. but i think you need to listen more carefully to what the reading and cooking teacher is trying to tell you...its doubtful that they just dont want her--there must be reasons that they feel she cant be successful, with or without mods. at least in cooking, somehow she's proving them right--what mods are in her iep that she needs and arent being addressed? not asking a bunch of questions to annoy you, but i think since you have an iep coming up you need to take a deep breath, gather data, and make decisions based on whats in her best interest...she may very well be where she needs to be, she may very well need to be mainstreamed for select subjects (i'd highly suggest you might want to avoid reg. gym class if she had an Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and consider APE instead--think about mainstreaming toward her strengths instead) [/QUOTE]
