[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what accommodations are already in place?[/quote]

The accommodations she definitely utilizes: extra time, breaking tasks down into smaller parts, repetition of instructions with examples/demonstration.

I emailed the teacher to ask if DD can bring the parts home or if we can buy a kit. She responded that while that isn’t possible due to school policy, DD doesn’t have to wait until her robot is finished to start programming; she can join another group that has finished the robot and go from there (I didn’t mention in my OP that DD has a partner who is equally stuck, while the rest of the rest of the class has moved forward). The teacher said that in the meantime, DD will have an incomplete on the robot until she’s able to (hopefully!) finish it during lunch period(s).

Of course, DD is nervous to join a new group for programming, because she anticipates she will have nothing to contribute and will be embarrassed by the whole thing (especially as a senior) but I think it is a reasonable suggestion. She plans to keep going at lunch, but without the teacher’s actual hands-on guidance, I don’t know if she’ll get any further with the robot. I did make it explicitly clear in the email that DD is at a standstill. I don’t know if she has actually read the IEP.[/quote]
