Before school started I verbally told DS's caseworker that we wanted to eliminate adapted gym from DS's IEP. I knew the paperwork wouldn't come thru immediately but I emailed her and cc'd the teacher yesterday asking her to open IEP to eliminate APE and asked the teacher not to send DS to APE this week. Today he was forced to go to APE, his aide told him he was required pursuant to his IEP, and the result was that he missed lunch with his class and had to eat in his classroom with his caseworker.
Not a hill upon which I'm going to die, but am I correct in reading wrightslaw that changes in IEP's don't have a 10 day timeline but are only "reasonable" timeframes? No stAte law that I can find. I'll email caseworker/teacher again in a couple days so it doesn't repeat next week. New caseworker has a history of requiring many prods.
To his credit, DS performed like a champ. He persisted telling everyone his mom requested a change to his IEP but it supposedly it was the aide who pushed back, who obviously wasn't in the know. Last year DS wouldn't have told me anything. He's becoming quite the advocate.
Agreed- I'm dating the transaction from the date I emailed- Yesterday. Since I am removing services I had hopes they might just comply. When we removed Sped busing his former caseworker sent home a revised IEP the next day!
Trying to keep in perspective tho- shoot, we're only 3 days in!
