Is the school responsible to fund residential placement?
Residential Placements and legal history.
Have you been told by your child’s IEP team we use an “eclectic approach to reading”?
Your child is entitled to research based reading services. An electric approach can be confusing for students with dyslexia. It should be Muti-sensory, and have a proven success rate. If you are told by the district, we get to pick what service we use ask them to put in writing what methodology they are using. The reading instruction also needs to be taught by a specialist that has a certification in the program not simply “trained”. Ask questions, and remember you are an equal member of the team and your input is extremely valuable.
Purpose of Special Education?
As parents your child with a disability on an IEP is entitled to attend school until they are 22 or until you accept a diploma. Do not be in a rush to have them graduate if they are not yet ready.
