[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They provide special ed services in English.  [/quote]

Do you mean services like OT, Speech therapy, etc?  I can understand not being able to provide these services in the target language (although it shouln't be too difficult to fine Spanish speaking OTs, etc.)

If you mean the school is only able to provide special ed support in English that's too bad considering it's an immersion school.  My DC gets 2 hrs of Sp Ed support daily per his IEP and it's in either English or Mandarin depending on whether it's English day or Chinese day.  Would be very unhappy with the school (and likely illegal) if they only provided 1/2 the support mandated by his IEP.[/quote]

Yes.  I mean that special education (NOT OT/SLP/PT) are provided only in English.[/quote]

If this is an immersion school, I would complain to the school's principal and the school board.  It's ridiculous that an immersion school especially a Spanish one with a large Spanish speaking population does not provide Sp Ed support in Spanish.

My child is on the spectrum and does great in an immersion program with an IEP.  PreK for him was 100% Mandarin and as a kindergartener enjoys both English days and Chinese days equally.  According to him either language is fine and he has no preference.  It's really amazing...[/quote]
