[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School psych here just reiterating other people's points: first, did someone from the school tell you that this version of his IEP is what will be in place in kindergarten? That would be incredibly unusual. There is a process of transitioning early intervention IEPs to school age IEPs. If you think he would need more in kindergarten but not right now, then it would not be added to his early intervention IEP. Second, a few people have asked what specific services you want provided and this is a crucial question. You can't just say "OT." Is it fine motor skills? Sensory? [/quote]

Op here. The school told me this IEP is the one that Carries into kindergarten. I can request another meeting prior to kindergarten starting if I want to, but if I don’t do that then yes, this IEP will apply. In our area, early intervention ends at age 3-he’s in a public elementary school now and his IEP is not an early intervention one from what I can tell. We haven’t been dealing with early intervention since he turned 3 and he is 5 now.

He needs a ton of support across a range of things. [b]Fine motor, sensory, focus, frustration tolerance, eloping, etc. These are problems we are facing right now in the classroom as reported by his teachers.[/b][/quote]
This is the type of data you'd want to bring to the meeting. How he is doing in the CLASSROOM, right now, with the IEP. The neuropsych stuff is OK, but needs in the SCHOOL setting are what drive services and I'm assuming the neuropsych did not observe your kid in the classroom. Bring all the data from SCHOOL that says...my kid is not doing ok (right? that is what you are saying?). He's having these struggles in preschool, what is the plan for kindergarten when the demands grow? [/quote]
