[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 454457, member: 84"] This was at an older age because Travis didn't have an IEP when he was that young. Travis was highly dependent on his aide. He never saw the Special Education teacher that was supposed to be helping him. If he went to the room where he was supposed to get help from her, he was told she was unavailable. This was every single day all day long. I met the woman once. Once. IEP meeting. I tried calling her, but she was always unavailable and never called back. I called the school, but she was always out. And from speaking with other parents and aides, it certainly was NOT helping students. Alex, well Alex functions at early kindergarden level in some areas, late kindergarden maybe early first grade in others. He's in the 4th grade. Our SD no longer has ANY Special Education classes. NONE. He has no choice but to be mainstreamed into a normal classroom. Last year he had an awesome teacher who in my opinion should receive the outstanding teacher of the year award, if there is such a thing. And it wasn't much of a problem. This year, we've yet to see how his teacher does. Instead of Special Education classes they have IEP classrooms where the classroom is part IEP students and those without IEPs, regardless of the reasons for the IEP. This, in my opinion, is about as ridiculous as it gets. I find myself not only concerned for Alex, but the other students in those IEP classrooms receiving proper attention as well. We'll have to see how this year plays out for him. [/QUOTE]
