I E P

Hi,

My son is in mainstream school and according to his teacher yesterday evening at parents evening he is doing very well. he is very bright and copes with school very well. At home its a different matter but I know that is not unusual with children with high functioning Autism. Question is my sons teacher wants my sons IEP removing as he believe he doesn't need it. Acidemically he proberly doesn't but emotionally I believe he does. What do I do?  I am in a constant fight with school because they make me believe there is nothing wrong with my son but I have seen 3 different pediticians and they all said he is high functiioning. I just want my son to get what he needs and I am not sure that school are at all intrested in his wellbeing. its all about how intellegent he is. It all goes over my head and I go round and round in circles. I feel that I have no control over my sons wellbeing becasue I am being rail roaded by teachers. What do I do.

 

Please help??

:)

  • hi there,

    I dont think theres anything to gain from them taking away his IEP, as getting there says its for everything not just the educational stuff, other than of course to make it a whole lot easier for themselves. I believe you hit the nail on the head with the fact that they think he dosnt need it educationally, mainstream seams to revolve around this sole issue, however you also know that he does need it emotionally. My advice dont agree to have it taken away and fight to keep it dont let them railroad you, be as stubborn as you can possibly be surely you will need to agree with them if they are going to remove it, if he suffers emotionally because support is lacking he will suffer educationally anyway dont forget that his emotional well being is paramount to everything else.
