He was retained last year and currently remains with his former teacher from the previous school year.

Targeted goals and areas of improvement this current year include: classroom routines, transitions, and social skills, such as developing appropriate relationships with his peers. Literacy goals include decoding and building phonemic awareness, such as isolating letter sounds. He currently has an IEP in place under the label of speech and language…

Before Tony is eligible Special Education Services, there are pre-referral strategies that need to be conducted to see if Tony even qualifies for service and if so which ones. The pre-referral strategies that are appropriate are to find out more about Tony by talking to his parent(s) and get more information and understanding about his situation/condition, (does…
The school board was accused of predetermining not to offer Zachary ABA on any level, regardless of how beneficial it was which violated IDEA (United States Court of Appeals, 2009). Additionally, Zachary 's parents were not fully involved in the IEP process which deprived Zachary a FAPE. At one IEP meeting Zachary 's parents were informed that they were not allowed to ask any question which goes completely against parental rights (County Schools, 2005). The IEP meetings also failed to have a general education teacher present. The Deals began their administrative hearing in March of 2000. In October of 2001 they initiated a review of portions of the ALJ 's decision in district court. Finally in December of 2004 the courts decided a verdict. The decision had been made to reimburse the Deals 's with the money they had spent on private ABA and related services (United States Court of Appeals, 2009). Sadly, it took years in court and an estimated 2,2850,000 to defend a relatively small reimbursement claim (County Schools,…
Regardless of what the court said, it is my understanding that a school district is not responsible for providing services to a student outside of the normal school hours. However, it is also important to note that each student has goals that are written in the context of a student’s IEP. If the school district is seeing progress in the student’s goals, there is no need for further action. In the…

I am Alma, the mother of future kindergartener Ely Rodriguez. The reason of my writing is to express my interest on developing an individualized education plan for my son Ely. When I read the option of providing an IEP in the acceptance letter, I felt curious about the plan. This is because my son is asynchronous in the things he can do. Please, I plead for your help in this matter, as from what I have read an IEP would be of great help for Ely. Thank you for reading this note, and have a great…

With fights broke out daily, with trash being thrown on the ground. IEPs are required to include certain information including, but not limited to, the child's current level of performance, goals, accommodations, modification, services, and least restriction environment explanations. They would ever call me a liar for asking for books (because it was in the IEP) or study guides for tests. They wouldn’t even modify the tests, which have it read to and/or have two answers choose instead of four. As you can see they're not really taking the responsibility for your child receives special education services, they must have an Individualized Education Program (IEP).…
