Two IEP fixes that will turn your child’s life around:
My son, Ricochet, struggles a lot in school. He always has, but middle school this year magnified his academic struggles. With ADHD, autism,, and executive function deficits, significant school struggles are to be expected. What was tripping us up, though, was the fact that his high IQ led teachers and administrators to believe that he was capable of success, but that he chose to be lazy. Twice-exceptionality is misunderstood in the public school system, and our experience has been no exception.
I was fed up after several months of pleading and begging, so I requested a Functional Behavior Analysis to address school refusal and avoidance, and an IEP meeting to implement the FBA results and to update his IEP to address his current middle school struggles. I had a concern that he was being asked to write work by hand, despite an IEP goal to the contrary. With that concern, I copied and pasted in a section of a private evaluation done four years ago in which the psychologist explained dysgraphia, how it impacts Ricochet, and suggested typing his work and being taught to type. That way, the services and accommodations he needs weren’t coming from his mom who they “can tell really loves him” , but from a professional.
