Q:
Can I ask for a learning support classroom for more subjects for my son?
My son Colby who was diagnosed with PDD and Learning disability has just started the 6th grade at our Middle School. He is on a second/third grade level at this time. In his IEP it states Learning support class in his academic classes, such as language arts, math, spelling. Language arts, math, and spelling, he is in a self contained class, but Science, Social studies, music, and a reading enrichment 6 class are he is not. In Science and Social studies, I was promised an inclusion teacher. Colby does have one in Science, but in Social studies, he has one 4 days a week for the exception of Wednesdays. However, he is not doing so well at all. He is close to shutting down. He comes home from school everyday worried about the next day. This inclusive teaching setting is not working. I and another parent are having a hard time trying to get the proper education for our children. Is there anyway that we can ask for a Learning Support classroom for all subjects? I will re-open my IEP if need be. Please, does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you bunches for any help...Bobbie

You should be able to revisit the IEP anytime you want. Just make sure to put it in writing to his case worker/principal.. whoever is in charge that you want to revise the current IEP.
