[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically no neurotypical child ever gets “preferential” seating or partners?

Lovely. [/quote]
“Preferential seating” doesn’t refer to highly coveted seats that are desired by all students; it means seating a student in a location that enhances their ability to learn. Students who have trouble seeing or hearing may need to be up front. Kids who need to be seated away from distractions may need to be seated where they can’t see out the windows. Students who need frequent redirection back to their work benefit from proximity to the teacher’s desk. Generally speaking, if a child has no disabilities, their performance doesn’t vary widely based on their seating.[/quote]

Lots of kids like mine are denied ieps and my kid in the back is an issue with a language processing disorder.  We spend a fortune on private therapies.  [/quote]
Were you also denied a 504? You can get preferential seating with a 504. If the school is denying all accommodations — even ones that don’t cost them any money, like preferential seating — keep requesting meetings and making them revisit the issue. They’ll probably give you preferential seating to get you to go away. Also, even if a teacher has so many students with 504s and IEPs that he/she can’t put your kid right up front, he/she can still make sure your kid isn’t in the back. Make the request directly to each teacher.[/quote]
