We'll ALWAYS have and IEP and in some wasy that is scary. I think back to when I was in elementary school and now I get why some kids were held back grades and some kids had time outside of the classroom and I am stopped in my tracks because *that will be my kids*! Maybe it's because this is all new, but I feel like everyone has been on the same page so far. I hope that doesn't change. I am worried I won't recognize when I need to push and when I need to be happy with what is going on.Erinhttp://www.theslackermom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791264579587890333.post-31206313035603016792011-05-05T08:10:26.199-07:002011-05-05T08:10:26.199-07:00In the future, you may want to push for a 504 plan...In the future, you may want to push for a 504 plan. Sometimes schools will "push" kids out of an IEP so that they can lighten their load. A 504 plan can insure that your kids get the accommodations they need in order to level the playing field. Often, the strategies in a 504 plan are things a good teacher would do anyway, but this way it's in writing and it holds them accountable.Zachttp://pavementandbeerforpeace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
