[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would suggest talking to the teacher sooner (at least in my experience with my daughter.) If your child has to be placed in the front of the class it is better to do it as the teacher is creating the seating charts. It was very awkward for my daughter to move into the front row after seating charts were created as it meant she "kicked" out one of the front row kids to move to the back. [/quote]

+1.

Make the request by email so it's in writing.  Frame it as -- I know you have a lot of kids and it is early and you are still sorting things out, but I wanted to remind you that Larla's IEP specifies X kind of seating.  Then explain why the present seating isn't working for Larla and what would be better.  State that you are open to a discussion about the seating if the teacher has other reasons why she thought this particular seat would be good (maybe teacher sat Larla between 2 non-talker/studious cooperative types).  I thought it would be more constructive to share this information now, while the seating charts are being finalized, rather than later, when it may be harder and create more of a stigma to move Larla if necessary.  Please contact me if you have any questions or want to discuss.  etc. [/quote]
