"No one is saying the teacher should instruct differently, and I'm not sure why you might be under the impression that that's what an IEP is for."

Of course the purpose of an IEP is not simply to create different instruction; I was viewing this within the context of your child and the situation as you have presented it.  As I understand it, your child is meeting academic benchmarks (albeit 1st grade level) but you want an IEP to change the supports he is receiving.  Understood.  And indeed, you want the instruction your child receives to be changed to address the concerns you have regarding behavior, social skills, and other areas that he currently does not receive support for.  Is that correct?

Just trying to provide some clarity.  As a parent of a SN child who is well versed with the "red tape" that is the special education system in our public schools, it would be easy for me to say "You're right," but I found the only thing that helped me navigate the system was to understand how schools view disabilities and as well as the supports provided to some students but not to all.

OP, I know you linked to a previous post earlier in this thread, but it was somewhat confusing to read back though all the posts...does your child have an Autism diagnosis?  A medical diagnosis, perhaps?[/quote]
