Answering a couple of questions.

1) Child is severely dyslexic in second grade, can’t read in English. [b]They will likely not ever take a foreign language in High School. [/b]

2) Spanish is 1 hr a week. He hates it, I don’t think he understands most of it. I think it is waist of time.

3) IEP team says they can’t use specials for intervention time. However, I can’t find any policy in this regard.

4) Ideally the school would use this time for intervention. However, I would be happy if he could go to a different special with a different class or do anything else. [/quote]

Just FYI, in VA you can substitute computer science for a world language (for 2 credits) in high school if that is part of an IEP for a student pursuing an Advanced Studies Diploma:  https://www.doe.virginia.gov/parents-students/for-students/graduation/graduation-requirement-resources/credit-accommodations

My kid did ASL to complete the language requirement before I learned about the comp sci option.  ASL was painful, but not nearly as painful as Spanish or another spoken/read language.[/quote]
