[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not know why having.an IEP would affect the class.  dont these children receive additional help/support from specialized teachers (ot, pt)?  How would having numerous kids with IEPs affect the main class teacher?[/quote]

There is a significant amount of additional paperwork that the teacher needs to complete in support of the IEP to support the goals of each child.  In addition, the teacher may need to create specific protocols for each child with an IEP.  Not all IEPs get special additional support such as OT/PT.  For example, a child with a fine motor delays may get some time with a specialist- but may also have a IEP that says there need to be specific accomodations to support tasks such as cutting with scissors.

So whenever these activities occur, the teacher or aid needs to be aware of the class and activiites and what they are suppose to be doing for the children with IEPs in addition to the rest of the class.

I'm sorry, but this post is just obnoxious.  There are so many different kinds of IEPs.  A large number are for everyday speech issues and don't really require ANY additional paperwork on the part of the teacher.  The kids just get pulled out 1-2 times/week for speech therapy.

While I don't disagree with what you are saying, you are implying that kids with IEPs somehow decrease the level of education a child without an IEP may get.  Comments like this just fuel this paranoia about ever having a child with an IEP in your classroom.  It is utter nonsense.[/quote]

You clearly do not know how a child qualifies for an IEP (or 504), how a plan is created and the administrative requirements associated with these.[/quote]
