[quote=Anonymous]We've faced similar situations with our kids.  You are correct that the this needs to be broken down into separate objectives.  Because the goal defines where the student should be in one year, the DRA level should be defined.  Your DS should be reading at a rate of X words per minute with Y level of comprehension as measured by Z.  By defining the objectives, you are not narrowing the goal, you are defining it.  You MUST know that all components of the goal are met.  If your DS meets the goal/objectives prior to the next annual review, that doesn't mean the staff stop working with your DS, they work to enable him in meet grade level expectations.

I don't mean to sound like an advertisement for advocates/consultants, but this is one of the reasons we use one.  Our concerns/objections are so often dismissed because we're the 'parents'.  It's so frustrating.  That's why we pay someone $250/hr to avoid this.  It sucks but, for us, more acceptable than the alternative.  I'm so tired of this.[/quote]
