Re: Teaching at frustration levels
Posted by Ben on 5/06/05
Meg, Is your daughter currently being taught in an inclusion
classroom with a special education teacher, or is she in a
self-contained (12:1) class? At the IEP meeting (something that you can request at
anytime, not just anually) discuss what educational
stratagies they are using to assist her. Also note whether
ANY of her past IEP objectives were met. If you think that
she requires additional services, discuss them. Best,
