[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't know what the specifics are which are causing the family in question grief due to IEPs or 504s.

I do know they have done a lot to help special needs kids such as ours, we have had no problems at all with Basis accommodating us and as I mentioned earlier, our DC is thriving there - but then again, we haven't asked them for much, either.

From what I had heard, they do offer things like extra time to SN students based on IEPs as well but I don't know any specifics or details beyond that.  I don't think it's valid to suggest they ignore IEPs or 504s outright based on what we know, there may be some very specific issues that I'm not aware of - but overall from what I have seen, they have been working with families.[/quote]

So why are we all being sent notices about "compensatory services" meetings that are due to a federal investigation which determined that our child's rights may have been violated by BASIS during the 2012-2013 year?  And I think there is more than one family posting about this here and saying all is not is so hunky dory in BASIS land.[/quote]

Exactly!
IEP's are children's rights.
They have definitely been violated in our case because they are not being implemented. More so this year than last year.
It does not mean watering down the curriculum. There is a difference between format and content.The teacher who helps students with IEPs should work with the specified students to meet their goals, not go to the classroom and act like an instructional assistant to all students.[/quote]
