[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 427862, member: 3493"] I would add that she should have a second set of books to keep at home. I did this with my oldest boy and then the next year they gave all the kids a second set other than LOTE books so I kept that in his IEP. Also, one of my difficult child's teachers pointed out that sitting in the front of the class is not always the best place - it depends on where the teacher likes to stand, etc. I now have in my kids IEPs that they will have "preferential seating" but I don't specify front row (although I did for baby boy till he got used to his bifocals). difficult child often sits in the back, he's more comfy there and he does interact. Can she keyboard and is she comfortable with it? If yes, have them give her access to one or have her given a scribe and separate location for testing. My difficult child HATED that but easy child 14 and babyboy have no issues with an aide or scribing. difficult child go an aide in 3rd grade but was told she was a student teacher helping his teacher (who was a first year teacher in a second career. When the aide went up with him the next year, he came home and said "Guess what, Ms. X got promoted to 4th grade, too, and now she's learning from an old guy teacher!" He'll be a senior next year and still doesn't know he ever had an aide!). Anyway, I think you should push for an aide - ask for it for the first semester and say you'll be willing to revisit it after that time. She should also get extra time and separate location for testing at least at the beginning. I assume she'll have resource room and/or be in an inclusion class? My babyboy is classified with an unspecified Learning Disability (LD) and has had an aide since K. I don't even think he really needs one but the school keeps assigning one and who am I to say no? I think it's because they know I could sue their butts off over what they did to difficult child. PC14 doesn't have an aide but he does have a scribe for his math tests and he went from a D first quarter without one to an A. He is dyslexic. Have you thought about getting an advocate? There's at least one low cost/free place that handles both counties. I spoke with them about difficult child and they were very helpful. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
