[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's totally reasonable to ask for language to be included that says something like, "Madison requires two X 30 minutes phonics instruction weekly using an evidence-based multi-sensory method."[/quote]

No it’s not. As stated above, it’s about the goals. The school might have access to an evidenced-based approach that is not multi-sensory. Maybe it works even better than, say, OG. The school needs to use what they see best to reach the GOALS that the team (which the parent is part of) agrees to. OP has every right to see the data that shows their kid is making progress towards the goal.

If the OP wants to know more specifics about the approach the school is using, they can schedule a parent conference OUTSIDE of the IEP. [/quote]

I wrote the quote above and I'm a special ed teacher in MCPS and I have written service hours exactly like this. Writing "evidence-based multi-sensory method" does not require access to any specific "proprietary" curriculum, it is a method of instruction. Of course, the student should have a phonics goal to warrant this service, but there is nothing wrong with a parent asking for the type of instruction to be specified in the service hours. If the school refuses they can document why in the PWN. [/quote]
