[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of level of support, if you take an AP class, you are taking a college level class with the reasonable options of accommodations one might request in a college setting. There are specific cases for one-on-one support such as interpreter for a deaf student, note taker for a physically disabled student (unable to write) etc.  [/quote]
This is incorrect. An AP class is a high school class. A high school student should be supported in an AP class per their IEP just as they would for any other class in high school. The accommodations on the AP exam itself are governed by the College Board, so the student does have to apply to the CB separately for those.

Special ed atty, how is support defined?  This seems murky to me.  IEP teams have to disclose student goals, accommodations, and service hours but this hardly nails down the delivery methods for specialized instruction.  [/quote]
This is a topic for the IEP team to discuss. The support depends on each student's individualized need in order to access the AP class, as determined by their IEP team. [/quote]
Is this PP?  Thanks for the response.  I would love to have discussed this with our IEP teams.  I had an ed background and I knew my kid.  But the teams at our kid's schools never liked discussing delivery methods.  They made us feel like restaurant patrons who were trying to barge into the kitchen to find the chef's recipes.[/quote]
