[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he have accommodations for the SOLs?  Like a reader or circling the answer in the workbook rather than bubbling it?  Do you think he knows the material but can't show it on the test or do you think he does not know the material?

What does his IEP include for goals?

My DC is similar he has LDs and above average intelligence.  When he was in Elementary school, there were two kinds of things that he was learning.  One was the curriculum (math, science, social studies, Language Arts) and one  was the remediation for his reading and writing.  To access the curriculum we (school and parents) read to him and he dictated any required answers.  To get better with his reading he had daily tutoring in his reading program (at school, 2-3 times a week after school with a private tutor and at home).  He was pulled out for language arts until 6th grade and writing was addressed there, but we also worked on the mechanics of typing at home.

If you haven't, I suggest you go to wrightslaw.com.  They are a great resource and help show what should be expected of schools and how to get a better IEP and how to work with the school.  [/quote]

Yes, he has accommodations. 
I will need to review his IEP goals, but teacher says he makes improvement each quarter.  His classes are in the general education classroom so he is not getting individualized instruction.   His IA makes sure his accommodations are in place and help him highlight text, reread passages, and helps him with math. [/quote]

Does your DC make his IEP goals?  Are his IEP goals written so that they represent adequate yearly progress?  [/quote]
