[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 144580, member: 1991"] If she is struggling and needs help, does it really matter why? Surely all that matters is that the school wants to help her. if the problems are just due to her long absences from school (plus the possibility of more) and she improves to the point where the IEP is no longer needed, that is OK too? I'd be saying, "Thanks for the help," and maybe also accepting any chance to assess further. If there is something more wrong than just her absences due to asthma, then looking for something should find it. If there is nothing further wrong, there is still no harm in assessment. She is what she is. And who she is. If there is something more wrong, it already IS wrong. Assessing her won't suddenly cause more problems to spring into being, it will only make you more aware of problems preferably before they become a major battle. A lot of difficult child 3's classmates at his correspondence school are there because of long-term physical illness. It's an alternative to an IEP, for a kid who can't always cope in a classroom. Other kids are there because their parents travel and they're always on the road. More kids are in correspondence because they are actors or dancers who work every day at their craft, with a tutor supervising the correspondence lessons. This IEP offered sounds like a similar situation - "she needs help to catch up, let's help her." Marg [/QUOTE]
