[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 199126, member: 805"] Here's the thing, it's always better to put your request in writing, certified, because you have a chain to follow should you need it (and the school district has 10 days to respond). For me, I have been fortunate that a phone call does the trick. I would suggest you go and do some research before the meeting. Begin at [URL="http://www.ldonline.org"]www.ldonline.org[/URL] They have tons of information on specific learning disabilities and particular accoms and mods that work. Do you actually have a specific(s) lds diagnosis by testing through the school? There are lots of things that we used for my difficult child's lang arts lds in elem school. Some of those can be a scribe for writing assignments - which would also include him dictating the answers to his homework to you (with your signature at the bottom). That makes homework go much quicker. I found my son much "freeer" to express himself when he wasn't bogged down with the mechanics of writing. It was amazing to see how much he had learned and absorbed when he felt no axiety about writing it down! Your son can also get his tests read aloud in a private or small group setting (this would also include any district or state required tests). In regards to spelling - he can also get modification regarding tests. For example, 10 words instead of 20, 5 words instead of 10, etc. He can also be released from spelling and grammer issues when papers are graded. He could give an oral report instead of a written one. He could also qualify for an electronic spelller (provided by the school) through supportive technology in his iep. Take your son's diagnosis (for example, written expression disorder, etc.) and do a google on accoms for that diagnosis and see what you come up with. There is a lot of great informatin on line that can help you once you get to the meeting. There are a lot of creative ways to work around these lds. Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
