[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would call an IEP meeting with the teachers you mention here and see if the coach can come, AND your kid. Lay it all out and ask for suggestions. A sport is key to exercise and cognitive health, so I’d try to not cut that. Remember that her brain is likely a few years behind her chronological age, and she needs more teacher oversight than others her age. Point that out. Can she go back to the previous school?

And approach it all with the mindset that this must feel horrible for her and she’s not trying to screw up. While you can see clearly what she should, her brain just isn’t ready for that. She needs a written plan for each class with frequent adult check-ins. If each teacher can’t attend a meeting, then you and the kid meet with them independently. If she’s failing, then the IEP isn’t working. Is she in self-contained classes where there is more adult direction?[/quote]

That’s not an IEP meeting. They only need to invite one general ed teacher. There is no way they will have the coach come. Is the coach even an employee during the school day? An IEP meeting is not a time for all teachers to confront your kid together and have an intervention. It’s a time to review the IEP.  [/quote]
