[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It also very much depends on what the main educational goals of the IEP are.[/quote]

I don't understand how this relates.  In addition to academic goals, my DS has social goals.  We've been so grateful for the assistance of the general and special ed teachers in helping our kids socially.  They've been paired up with kids that are good at helping others, the teachers have provided opportunities for our kids to show their strengths, they've accomodated their needs to sit in chairs rather than on the floor and when working with kids in the upper grades (eg reading buddies), they've paired them with kids who are outgoing, kind and helpful.  The older kids especially have made extra efforts to say hello to my kids, play with them and look out for them.  And, as a PP indicated, the school counselor has peer groups for lunch and the teachers have also invited small groups of students to have lunch them.  It's been a really positive experience for us.

My point was simply that without academic goals, schools are sometimes reluctant to put social goals in an IEP.  I wasn't in any way denigrating social goals.[/quote]
