I wanted to cross post this here since I might get more teacher responses.. I am really worried about my kiddo and her iep. Long story short I recently moved to a new state and my dd (just starting 6th grade, middle school) had an iep since 1st grade. Her teachers from our last school worked really really hard with her and actually cried during our final iep meeting last year. They were really worried that she might "test out" and that all their hard work would be lost so they suggested I waive the retesting for a year so she could adjust to her new school and keep her services. I just went to her initial iep meeting at the new school and they highly recommend testing. They feel that she is above what the reports indicate. They feel she doesn't need services. What do I do? please feel free to ask as many questions as you need to... I will answer as best as I can. Some questions have already been answered in this thread...
