[QUOTE="slsh, post: 296719, member: 8"] Shari- once you get the length of day issue straightened out (I still think the whole half-day thing crossed some legal lines - it wasn't an IEP team decision and it's in my humble opinion a blatant failure of the SD to provide FAPE for your son - half days do not equal full days - wishing you much speed on getting that corrected!), you might want to make sure that the IEP specifies if it is individual Occupational Therapist (OT)/para/reading, etc., or group. During one particularly adversarial year with- a sped dir, if any person providing a related service was in the same room as my son, that counted towards his minutes. Rationale being it was "group" services even though my kid has without question a 1:1 kind of need. 15 minutes of 1:1 reading help versus 15 minutes of group help a day are 2 different animals in my book - to say nothing of 300 minutes of a para that is shared with- other students versus 1:1. Good luck - I really have my fingers crossed for you guys this year. Your son's overdue for some positive school experiences (you too! ;) ). [/QUOTE]
