In terms of the accommodations, can I get a sense of what Basis should be providing that it isn't? And that would actually make Basis -- rather than getting a kid placed elsewhere -- a success for you kid?[/quote]

She's not going to answer that.  She's just going to continue insisting that BASIS is violating her child's rights without explaining exactly what accommodations her child needs that wouldn't be available at BASIS.

Obviously I’m not going to post my child’s IEP. And all you’d do anyway is make some argument that my kid doesn’t fit Basis’s “niche.” If you are genuinely interested in the menu of special needs accomodations you can do what SN parents do and checkout Wrightslaw and many other online sources. We paid $1000s to a consult as well. And of course an IEP is individual so my kid’s IEP tells you little about what other kids need. Mine doesn’t need extended time for tests or speech therapy; othet kids might. [/quote]

Translation: no. I prefer to keep my demands opaque, unfouded, shrill, and broad.[/quote]

ooh “shrill.” I’ll add that to my bingo card. there is nothing opaque about it - Basis has to staff up and coordinate the IEP process and provide more services. Special ed teachers in subject matter areas, EF support, social skills, behavioral plans. Your question is really coming from a place of ignorance and you should be happy about that. [/quote]

I’m the poster who asked the question and have not posted since. I completely agree I’m asking out of ignorance, I am genuinely understand what you’re looking for/alleging that BASIS doesn’t provide that would allow your kid to succeed. I don’t know you or anything about you, so even if you posted your kid’s IEP, it’s not like I can or would identify you. You just keep saying they need to staff up (are they not providing the amount of service they’re required to?) or coordinate better (what’s not coordinated properly?), but you’re not really explaining what they need to provide that they don’t. Despite you hostility, I’m actually asking as the parent of a very smart ESer with an IEP who sees BASIS as by far the best option out their to fit her kid’s needs. I’m trying to understand why/if I might be misguided. (My kid’s IEP is not related to neuropsych stuff at all, so maybe that makes it different?[/quote]
