First, please use people first language. Children are not disabled children, they are children with a disability.

Second, totally understand if you are prompting and supporting your student. However for those students with IEPs, please make sure to talk to your child’s special education teacher about that prompting. In collecting data it could look like your child is being independent on an activity that they needed support on. In the classroom, I’m able to document, student needed indirect verbal prompting to answer questions. If I use these assignments they got support on as a data point it could skew the PLOP which would also skew the goals and subsequent services. It would really support the IEP team in developing the most effective IEP.

e could move through his day without at least some help from me.


ACPS educator here. My colleagues and I have had to ask parents to stop giving their children the answers and to stop doing their child’s work. We even had to get our admin involved with a couple of parents. The teachers in our building complain about this. We get it that parents want their child to do well, but they should not be doing their work. We even have parents getting mad at us because we won’t call on their child to give an answer. We use a random selection system for calling on children but some parents don’t understand that.


NP here. That's awesome, if you don't want me to help my son, I assume y'all are going to start chunking his work and giving him prompts the way you are supposed to according to his 504 plan right? And that he won't have to email you individually like three times each to remind you not to dock his grade for being late when he gets 100 percent time more on all assignments? Oh, right, I thought not.


A different NP parent here. LEARN TO READ. The ACPS educator didn't say she doesn't want you to appropriately assist your child. She said she wants "parents to stop giving their children the answers and to stop doing their child's work." Your hyperbolic response is ridiculous and makes you sound like an idiot.


Thanks for calling me an idiot in response to my concerns about my disabled child. Since the alleged ACPS teacher responded to a post about concerns about prohibitions on helping a child with an IEP, I assumed it was pertinent to children with disabilities. If not, I have no idea why the alleged teacher posted it, as it is irrelevant.

I bet your nasty snarky demeanor rendered you popular in middle school. To bad you haven't progressed onward since.

My child has a learning disability but is in a general education classroom. I don't feel that his IEP accommodations are being delivered effectively virtually. Open your mind to the possibility that everyone's circumstances are different, and you may find other reasons to advocate for.


Why aren't YOU implementing the accommodations? Don't rely on others to do your job as a parent.


This is for the PP who is criticizing the special needs parent, you are clueless and cruel. At least at my child’s ACPS elementary school, the principal admonished parents not to intervene during the day. Thus, ACPS now only remains obligated to comply with the law and provide IEP mandated accommodations and services, but they are actively prohibiting from parents from doing what you suggest. I agree that compliance with IEP accommodations and services (especially special education in the general education setting) has been problematic.

Polk


WTAF? The principal at Polk was one reason we opted in to another program in ACPS, but if someone told me that I would promptly tell them to eff off on my way to pulling my child from school (which I’ve considered, because like other PPs my child isn’t getting the support they need to get through a virtual school day. I stop short of giving them the answers, but if they don’t know which app to navigate to because they missed the instruction due to attention and ASD challenges, you better believe I tell them what to do, instead of sitting there doing nothing during the entire independent work time (which is what happens when I have meetings). My bright kid GenEd kid with an IEP would absolutely learn nothing if I wasn’t there (probably wouldn’t even be logged in or in front of the computer), meanwhile the SPED teacher told me they don’t expect parents to “babysit.” UGH.
