Open note test but notes provided are not allowed

[Lara]

Hello! My child's IEP provides notes to her from the teacher. The teacher is giving the class an open notes test but told my child that she could not use the teacher provided notes. The teacher told her to write her own note card. This instruction was given to my daughter when she asked if she would be allowed to use the teacher provided notes. It was not an instruction given to the full class. 

This seems counter intuitive to me. Ask a person who has notes as an accommodation to rewrite all her notes.  

What are my options here. Her test is tomorrow so any advise you can provide quickly would be really appreciated. 

Thank so much!

The notes she has from the teacher ARE her notes pursuant to her IEP.  She should be allowed to use them in any way other students use their notes.  If all other students are allowed to use their notes for a test, she should be allowed to use her teacher-provided notes.  Since you're short on time, I would reach out to the entire IEP team asking for assistance.  If you don't hear back quickly, reach out (maybe call) the director of special education.  If you have a phone call (or calls) make sure to write everything down that was said.

Is there a way to scan in the teacher notes and have some software have them neatly typed out?  Is this something AI can do?  If your child does this, they now have notes they did themself.  Makes no sense for this to be the teacher's interpretation of the IEP.  The accommodation is there due to a disability.  For your child, teacher notes = student notes.  I'd want this clarified in the IEP so no one else tries this in the future.

Since this  is the dyslexia forum, I'm assuming this is the disability.  Your child is likely going to transcribe the notes inaccurately given they are going to be rushed.  This doesn't 'level the playing field' which is what accommodations should do.
