I’m afraid my son’s IEP will not be of much help or relevance in this case, because your son is almost ten years older than my kid and probably needs completely different accommodations and interventions than a Kindergartner does.

That said, please see if you can get from your local library network either A Parent’s Guide to Special Education: Insider Advice on How to Navigate the System and Help Your Child Succeed or Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy: The Special Education Survival Guide. Both of these books have a lot of useful tips on developing IEPs and working with the school in general. I hope to be able to write a bit more about them some time soon.

Good luck!

My 15 year old son was just dx with PDD-NOS yesterday. He has been dx with Aspergers and Nonverbal Learning Disability in the past.

I’m curious about your IEP. Would you mind posting it on your blog?

Thanks so much! Kathy
