[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I spoke with the MS and TJ support staff. All were very helpful.

[quote]Is an IEP any different at TJ than other schools? Are there students with IEPs at TJ?[/quote]

Yes and yes.

Apparently there are students on IEPs at TJ and many, many more with 504 plans. He indicated that there were many students with ADHD at TJ. But they do not offer the same breadth of services that a typical base HS can provide. We talked about DC's current plan, and I felt the TJ person was very honest about the types of supports they could and could not provide. But he also expressed no issues per se with DC having an IEP. As a PP stated, there are no team taught classes at TJ. If a student needs specialized instruction, they cannot accommodate that at TJ. They have other services that they can and do provide. Their support staff is also not full time, so that is a concern as well. Some students with IEPs do very well and some choose to leave. I feel like we can now make a much better informed decision.[/quote]

Thanks for following up on your post, OP. Best wishes as you and your child decide the best path to take.[/quote]
