[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any kid with IEP did CES before? How did it go? Should I request extra accomodations for teachers letting me know what homework is due, what readings needed to be due by when etc in the coming up IEP meeting? Or should I let my child try it out to see if he could handle first? It would be for will be 4th grader in the fall with executive functioning issue. He is smart but he is not a strong writer. He is a perfectionist, so there's a chance that his anxiety to excel or to keep A may increase among other smart kids grouping together in the class in the fall. Part of me, I want him to try CES without extra worrying and asking for extra accomondation, but part of me, I want him to try with regular IEP. 4th/5th grade are good years to get him prepared before he goes to middle school, and I hear middle school is complicated for asd/ADHD kid like him.

Any advice? [/quote]

The good news is that most teachers are pretty good about communicating to the kids regarding assignments. So if you can work out a way to view your child's mcps email, the information you are looking for should be there.

The bad news is that CES is fundamentally a humanities enrichment program, which means high expectations for both reading and writing. When you say your child isn't a strong writer, do you mean it takes them a lot of time or do you mean they struggle to get it done at all? If the ladder, really think through whether accommodations are going to solve the problem. It's one thing for the parent to help map out the assignment and make a plan to get it done, but is it going to be a fight every time to get across the finish line?[/quote]

Op here. I don't worry too much about reading part. He can read for hours sometimes. His reading comprehension is probably average. I don't know exactly because I just see him reading fast but not sure how much he understands. He can write, but in the form of simple sentences structures and sometimes misspelling and grammar mistakes. He is not a writer material. There's no writing homework sent home, but I have seen him write a paragraph for a few sentences. They look fine to me. I mean he can get it done but probably he does not want to write an essay in pages. I have talked to CES teacher, and they say homework is probably a page to summarize after reading a book of 100 pages per week. He has not done it before. DH is a strong reader and strong writer. He maybe able to help.

If he doesn't want to write, he probably shouldn't do CES. If his IEP accommodations are working out at his current school, and he likes it, why change? If you think he's ok with lots of upheaval then try CES out. He can always go back to his old school. But if you already know he's not that into writing, then maybe just opt out of CES[/quote]
