[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 264962, member: 1991"] It seems that standards vary and what is done will vary, from district to district and school to school. BUT - the difference in this case, is this has already been addressed at the IEP meeting and strategy agreed on - to leave him undisturbed if he falls asleep in class. So who is behind the change in procedure, why, and why are they going directly against the previously-agreed IEP? Whatever is the accepted position for other kids - THIS kid shouldn't be disturbed. If there are concerns that this procedure is not longer appropriate then BEFORE a change is made, there needs to be consultation with the family, preferably via another IEP meeting. There are strong reasons for things being done this way. My biggest concern here - someone has decided unilaterally to circumvent the IEP process. This is bad for the school staff, it's bad for the parents, it's bad for the child. IEP works because it is a group consensus. It requires full communication and full cooperation. When it works well, it's the best for everybody. When some one person takes it in their heads to move the goalposts, they shouldn't be too surprised when others who are on the playing field cry "Foul!" It's time to call in the referee to adjudicate and get this game back on track where it should be. Marg [/QUOTE]
