[quote=Anonymous]We left Ashlawn before the new principal, so can’t speak to her specifically. However, our experience at Ashlawn as well as other APS schools, is that special education services are really dependent on the kid and the teacher involved. The parents of a sweet kid with dyslexia might have a totally different experience than the parents of an impulsive kid with ADHD.

Our kid’s disabilities often manifested as behavioral issues. Getting some teachers’ to provide timely information that we could impose consequences at home consistently was a huge issue. Other teachers were willing to send a one line email at the end of a bad day.

We were also told that our kid failed every reading assessment because they weren’t trying.

If this is your first time trying to get services/accommodations, I would consider getting an advocate who can suggest what things might go into the IEP and help craft the wording. Otherwise, it can be hit or miss, depending on who is in the room. If your kid has autism, talk with the autism specialist at central office who covers Ashlawn. The Parent Resource Center would also be a good resource- they will explain the steps to the process of getting an IEP or 504 plan.
