[quote=Anonymous]You might want to look at the IEP. The way it is written is that the majority of sped support is provided by the classroom teacher and paras. They do that as they know all minutes can’t be with a sped teacher.

But yes, the whole system is messed up. Kids aren’t getting nearly enough support. In my own experience as a parent of a child with an IEP and an MCPS elementary teacher, support gets better as the child gets older. HSM in elementary does not work for most children. The needs are too high and sped teachers are supposed to magically support kids spread across 10 or so classrooms. Once kids get to middle school, there is soooo much more support. There is a second adult in most classes. My child went from seeing the sped teacher maybe an hour a day (and she could be pulled for behaviors during half that and gets a paperwork day once a week…every week), to having 5 supported classes daily. Night and day difference.

You can try recording hours, but honestly, I would start with the IEP first because there’s no way they put all the hours on the special ed teacher so you’d pretty much be proving nothing. Then I’d advise aye to fox the mess known as home school model.[/quote]
