[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

[b]IEP's are not meant for only those children who do poorly in school without it. It's also for those students whose achievement falls far below their ability.[/b] So if a child, when the playing field is leveled, can operate two or three grades above his own grade, but his achievement without support is at grade level only - then he may qualify for an IEP also.

I confirmed this with the school.  [/quote]

what about NT kids "whose achievement falls far below their ability" do? can they get an IEP too?[/quote]

it would depend on why the nt kid is not achieving commensurate with ability.  is the NT kid just a child with some kind of disability that is having an adverse effect on their access to their education? Then, yes, they should get an IEP or 504.  The premise of these laws is that disabled kids should have equal access to free appropriate public education.  The OP is suggesting that the differential in performance reflects an inability to access the education being provided in SS/Sci, because it is not being delivered in the way required to be successful due to the disability.  The disability is something that the student has no choice about. iit is an immutable characteristic that should not be discriminated against - just like being female, or minority, or gay/straight, etc.
