[quote=Anonymous]OP, I remember being there .. so overwhelmed and wishing there was just some recipe. The truth is that you kind of put it together as you go along. Someone else's IEP needs aren't going to be the same as your DC's even if they share the same diagnosis. My DS has a severe dyslexia diagnosis, for example, but he has a really strong visual memory and his primary struggle in the school setting is with anxiety. The administrators from your school have a lot of knowledge and they can be very helpful. It's an issue of tapping their knowledge while maintaining your DC's needs as the focus rather than school resources. The availability of resources should not be the deciding factor in whether something goes on the IEP, though sadly it many times is. Beyond OG based instruction common accommodations and services are having tests read aloud or having access to a scribe. These are more relevant for when they reach SOL grades, though. [/quote]
