[QUOTE="jal, post: 156758, member: 3477"] I'm glad to hear he had a great day! Phew! (That's what I always say when mine does too!) An IEP is an individualized educational program that you and the school design to meet your childs needs. It gives you a legal leg to stand on if the school does not live up to what they said they would provide for your child. A 504 is typically thrown out to a parent to "satisfy" them. School will say they will do this and that for your child, but under a 504 they do not legally have to uphold their end. Since you have a PPT scheduled and he is receiving some services through the school have they ever discussed doing a formal IEP? In the IEP (a typed document) it says that my son is to receive: A para (one on one that shadows and directs him as needed - SD pays for her) 3 movement breaks a day Brushing therapy Behavioral plan in place Teacher to have daily communication with-parent Those are the basics of his right now. When we first went to them 2 summers (before he started school when he was four) they came out in the fall to his daycare and observed him and said he has no problems, but that they would follow up with us in the next summer before he was to start school. At that time we said there are still issues and the child will need support. Right before he was to start K we had a big meeting with the Head of Pupil services was there and said well we'll do a 504 he doesn't have any big issues (she's never met him). I said this will not fall under a 504, he needs and IEP. We agreed to have him in school for a month before a decision was made. I told them we will be in this room before month's end writing an IEP. You know what? We were. Luckily, our SD has been awesome to us and our difficult child. Even the functional behavioralist said that they were one of the greatest group of educators she has worked with and they all care for and want to help difficult child succeed. Our PPT team consists of the principal, dir of pupil services, kindergarten teacher, Special Education teacher, Occupational Therapist (OT) teacher, school social worker, school nurse, my husband and myself. As for the other question about difficult child being in another room, it's not so much that he scared it's anxiousness. He has to know where I or husband are at all times. If you go out, he goes out, if you go to another room he's pretty much right behind you. He can't stay by himself in a room for an extended period or let alone do anything by himself. Exhausting. At least he sleeps alone in his own room=) See your not alone - I am in CT too! [/QUOTE]
