[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has an IEP at a MoCo public elementary known to cater satisfactorily to SN children, and practically NEVER brings back finished assignments. Half of the time he completes the first sentence on the page or pages and the rest is blank!

Now I have only visited the classroom once, but given the feedback his teacher gave me at the IEP meeting, I am reasonably certain she at least attempts every accommodation on the IEP. 
In our case, I believe it's due to my child's ADHD/Asperger's that he does not finish his work. There is no earthly way the teacher can MAKE a child finish - even when I coach my son at home, he takes ages to get through the simplest stuff!

My point is that you should first complain only about the indisputable items like the seating. Do not dilute your message with more intangibles items like productivity, because they are going to argue about it and the substance will be lost.

Next year, demand an IEP. Keep in touch with the teacher throughout the year and request updates and work samples from your son.

Good luck. It can get exhausting, I know.[/quote]

You are describing my son to a T.  No matter what accommodation or service, assignments are never done.  The way I figure it is, no one can make him do his work and so long as his grades are good, meaning that he is mastering the material, I really don't care if the assignments are completed.

PP's advice on not diluting your message with disputable items is excellent.  Your comment that the teacher NEVER does anything to redirect you son is exactly the kind of statement you want to avoid.

One thing I will add is that I have never seen a school agree to a 504 where there is IEP eligibility.  You can't just demand an IEP and get it.  Your child has to test into an IEP.  [/quote]
