Interim IEP Meeting - 1 October 2009

An interim IEP meeting was conducted on 1 October 2009; 2:10PM EST. It was attended by the 2nd grade and 3rd grade Language Arts teachers, speech therapist, autism teacher and the ESE specialist. The purpose of the meeting was to incorporate the Language Arts as part AX's mainstreaming. According to the IEP, he has 75% removed from the autism cluster or that he only spends 25% in the autism cluster and the 75% of the time, he is in the mainstream. However, I really do not know if that is being followed but I sure do hope it is. I hope that behavior does not impede him from being with the regular class or students. I mentioned this because today (2 October 2009), a mainstreaming behavior log was initiated by the school without our knowledge. AX had been with the autism cluster since he was in pre-K and did not gain anything until we pushed for more school work. These are the sad events of his life. Imagine, a student with autism goes to school without learning something?

I do not know that much that transpired in the IEP meeting because I had to assist AX in the bathroom. It turned out he was having tummy problems so he could not be still.

I will post the addendum of the interim IEP later in the day or tomorrow.
