[quote=Anonymous]Is it reasonable to ask that the program or methodology used for intervention to support DD be included in the IEP?

DD is in MS and has dyslexia. She meets with a literacy teacher twice a week for 30 mins. When we first met on her IEP, I made it a point to ask if she would receive OG based intervention. They said they would need to assess her to figure out what would be best for her. Fast forward a couple of months and DD has been raising the alarm that she doesn't think the intervention is appropriate. She works with an ASDEC tutor 3x a week after school so she has developed awareness of how she learns and what kind of instruction is helpful to her (something I am super proud of her for!).

To prove her point, she brought home several of the worksheets she had worked on over the last few sessions. They were ALL over the place. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason for why these were selected for instruction. DD also showed them to her ASDEC tutor who was VERY concerned. While we both agreed that we are confident that the school means well... they are not appropriate for how a dyslexic student who needs a systematic structured approach.

I am writing to the school to voice my concerns, asked for the specific results from the assessment, and ask for more insights into their intervention methodology. I wonder if I can also ask for the overall instructional structure behind her sessions, a scope and sequence of the instruction and if we could include that specific program or approach the literacy teacher is using into the IEP. It seems like she is randomly grabbing worksheets to work on DD. [/quote]
