[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] According to news sources, the parents didn’t unilaterally stop. Their attendance requirement was eliminated because he had improved and the teacher had recommended extending his school days due to his progress.[/quote]

I’m so curious to hear more about this situation and how that accommodation came to be in place and why they walked it back the way they did. Whenever I have had a student getting 1-to-1 support, it was walked back incredibly gradually. Things like getting support for the first two thirds of every lesson and letting the student be independent for the last third, or backing down the support by content area over the course of several weeks. Abrupt changes can be really stressful for some kids, especially those that need intensive support.[/quote]

I agree with you. As a parent of two kids with IEPs, I’ve seen and heard about a lot of services and accommodations while trying to get my kids what they need, the plan that has come to light is so highly unusual for what we see in the DMV. But i also know that things we’d never consider here happen in other areas of the country. I’m guessing as the lawsuits happen, we will learn more. [/quote]
