[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I didn't know that I could go eat with him. I will request this. I will also ask about a lunch bunch. I love that I can ask this group bc the school did not mention any of these possible solutions. So, can they grant these accommodations without having to go through all the IEP hoops? I just want to know what I'm possibly facing with asking for accommodations not specified in his IEP. Thank you![/quote]

I've been a SN parent for many years now and over the years I've learned that it isn't necessary to make everything into a formal obligation/requirement.  Frankly, at this point, you don't even know what's going to work so what would you put into an IEP.  If a problem persists over time, then it accommodations and/or services made it to the IEP.  But honestly, if all accommodations needed to go through the IEP process, a school couldn't function and it would take forever to solve problems like the one you are facing.  Just call the school when things like this come up.  I was always close to our special education staff (they called it Resource teacher at our school), so that's whom I would call.  [/quote]

Another many year SN parent.    It depends on the school.    
At our former school, nothing appeared to get done (e.g., even permitting a child to line up last so that he would not be so close to others and standing still as long as it took the line to form --- we were told it "wasn't fair" for DS to get to line up last, as others wanted to do so and turn off the lights) without a more formal requirement.     Our resource staff did not have a person trained in ASD at the time, several years ago.[/quote]
