[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds weird to me.  What services are written into the IEP that this is going to come out of?

For example, on my kid's IEP, we have about 24 hrs/month of services.  This is clearly delineated in the IEP as 20 hours with the special ed teacher (combo of pull out-push in) to work on specific skills; 2 hours with the OT; and 2 hours with the social worker.

If for some reason the special ed teacher had to spend a lot of time helping my kid with PARCC testing so she did extra hours that week, I guess I'd be ok with cutting back the following week A LITTLE.  But I would not be OK with not having her at all for the whole month.  And if they were proposing to take hours away from the OT or social worker I wouldn't be ok with this at all - he only sees them 1x/week and it's a crucial part of his IEP.  [/quote]

I agree.  When my DSs are being familiarized with a testing format or receiving their accomodations while testing, they do NOT come out of the service hours which, as the PP noted, are related to working on specific skills, learning content or addressing other areas of need.  If your DS has a goal related to testing strategies, those would be included as part of the service hours but I can't imagine how taking a test could be counted as part of the service hours provided.
