[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many hours does your child get now? Are you looking for push in or pull out? I ask because my child gets tons of hours but mostly pushin which is put preference anyway. [/quote]

OP here.  The school is proposing 15 hours of special ed per week - 12 hours pull out/3 hours push in - and 1 hour of speech per week (pull out).  We are requesting all subjects be taught by a special educator/SLP either pull out or push in (would require team teaching).  In addition to his language based learning disabilities, DS has at least a three year expressive/receptive language delay.  Chronologically, he is a 10 yo.  Intellectually, he is a 10 year old.  However, he has the language capability of a 6 year old.  Those facts are not in dispute.  What is in dispute is the number of special education hours.  We believe it is unreasonable to expect a child with the language capability of a 1st grader to be able to learn in a class of 4th graders unless the instructional delivery is modified in such a way he can understand it.[/quote]
