Not following an IEP??? She should have lost her job!! If I ever have to put my son back in school (hoping that doesn't have to happen, but it's one of those things I have to be prepared for) I will have him tested first. He's come a long way in the last year. I don't even remember the last time he actually had a serious meltdown. If he was on the spectrum, it would be the tippy tippy top of aspergers. I had him evaluated in head start (a pre school program) by a behavioral therapist, but he's never been tested. He was delayed speech wise. Very highly anti social between 1 year and 3 yrs old to the point if a stranger in the store talked to him, he'd melt down- now he's so social you can't stop him talking to EVERYONE and I mean everyone....lol. He has sensativity/both textile and sound issues. Hopefully though, no matter what happens I will find a way to continue homeschooling as long as he's willing.Yes, I agree. They probably ask for so many items because half the parents, for one reason or another, don't supply everything asked for, which leads to the sharing. I just think the items are getting carried away. What happened to one binder, one pack of pencils, and a pack of glue sticks, like when I was a kid?? And your story reminded me of a good one. My much younger brother has dyslexia/adhd and his iep states that he gets directions repeated more then once. In 2nd grade his teacher would not allow him to have a snack at snack time and sent home a note that said he can have snack when he learns to follow directions the FIRST time they are given. I thought my mom was going to get arrested for what she wanted to do to that teacher! She lawyered up instead! (That was one of many, many issues and school district ended up paying for a special school).
