[quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely not agree to this change without having the opportunity to observe the SC class first. Push back. Make the school show data as to why a self contained class is more appropriate than following the current IEP, and maybe adding compensatory services. Why not have the school follow the IEP (plus compensatory services) for a quarter or semester once school is back in person and then evaluate? There is a big loss of socialization and typical peer interaction opportunities in a SC class; that’s why the least restrictive environment is so important.

Also, I don’t know what jurisdiction you are in, but we are in DC and my experience and discussions with other parents of SN kids confirm that there is a lot of variation in SC classes, absolutely between different charter schools, but even between different DCPS schools. In DC, kids without learning disabilities but with autism or communication problems do not get taught to their full potential in some of these SC classes. My friends with kids formerly in CES classes have experienced this. Again, if you’re in DC, I wouldn’t allow this change without a chance to observe the self contained class your daughter would join.
