[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately the SpEd teams are not great at resolving gaps at all. It seems like parents need to supplement like crazy.  [/quote]

Does the student not have something to do with it?  Do parents of kids without IEPs not supplement from time to time?[/quote]

This is a mixed bag. I have experienced it all- some families are SO involved and work very hard with their children on any social or academic deficits because they understand this is for life and they and their child will have to live with this disability well beyond k-12. I have also worked with families who basically view the IEP and as a free card to pass all classes and evade discipline for any and everything. There is a huge difference between looking at data and seeing that the accommodations and supports are not helping the child achieve the goals (which means either the goals need to change or the supports do) and looking at the data and seeing the child is always absent, or never submits any work at all, and the parent thinks “well they have an IEP so they have to pass.”

An IEP is only as good as the team who makes it and the team who uses it.[b] As a rule, if your kid needs supports at school, they likely need them at home too.[/b] Different supports perhaps, but supports nonetheless. Not all parents are equipped or willing to parent at that level. Some go above and beyond. You’ll see it all. [/quote]
