I downloaded your IEP binder resources but it’s still so foreign to me as to what to do in my situation.
I have triplets, they are 6 yrs old now and asd diagnosed. We have been in therapy since 6 month old through CDSA which came to the house. Than when they turned three everyone aged out of the CDSA and they were evaluated for exceptional children preK. Only one qualified.
We still continued outside services for the other two (feeding, OT, PT for Savannah, speech) but Colton received OT and speech at preK in addition to the private services outside of school. We have had a sensory processing diagnosis very early on but I never pursued the asd diagnosis per my pediatrician recommendation since we already had all the services under Medicaid, The next year the other two were able to go based on a fee-for-service and when they were finishing up that year wanting to transition them to Kindergarten, I wanted them to stay back. They told me no and I had already asked for them to be evaluated for an IEP to which they had denied me after evaluation.
Colton at this time had an IEP under developmental delay and the other two did not. Since they wouldn’t let me keep them in PreK and they didn’t have the tools to go to K successfully, I pulled them. Colton could have gone on to K with his IEP but they are triplets and I am drowning everyday.. so I couldn’t have done that.
So we qualified for ESA plus and opportunity scholarship based on income and Colton having an IEP and we sent them to a private school for K but treated it as a transitional K knowing I was always going to hold them back.
Fast forward, our IEP expired- which I didn’t know until I went to apply for funding again this year- we also finally received our asd diagnosis and never stopped our therapies. Once being diagnosed we added ABA and that’s been lifechanging. Still haven’t slept through the night since Colton was one but we are working on it..
BUT all background aside.
I sent to the public school as other homeschoolers have done and they def remembered me. After the “should have sent him to K” “ I told you to just have faith in him” remarks aside I am in the process , long long process of having everyone evaluated for IEP’s. I have filled out stacks of tests answering question after question like I did for the asd diagnosis.. and on Tuesday.. (oh God I hope you see thisbefore Tuesday) they give me a yay or nay on the IEP. The school psychologist keeps telling me they are well behaved and they are doing so well and that an asd diagnosis doesn’t qualify or outside services (speech feeding PT for two OT for all and ABA doesn’t qualify them fir IEP’s so I know they are going yo tell me no.
See my kids are high functioning and obedient but they should be we have a tool box of items therapists for 6 years now have given me and I use them. I do everything every therapist has recommended from day 1 to our own demise. I M consistent and my house is set up like a preschool with visual timers schedules calm down centers I dentifcabtion of feelings posters.. reward charts and calm down strategies.. of course they will listen. My goal has never been to disable my children or change them it’s just been to give them the tools necessary to support who they are in todays society.
Also, it’s not that I don’t believe in the public school it’s that I feel they don’t have the tools that need to go.
We say things because we have large issues with social pragmatic speech like “ your black skin is smelly” “ I don’t like black monster people” I mean things they don’t understand bevause they just don’t like contrast and differences in anything even their food.. but I can’t let them say that to another child. And Colton sees things and has irrational fears all night and with shadows during the day and it’s always someone dying bleeding apocalypse going to happen or the mungus is saying to kill the people.. he confuses reality and fiction a lot. Again, I can’t let him go to school and say something to someone they deem unsafe.. we work on social stories and situational responses and how people feel when you say something.. like Savannah has zero empathy.. hurts people to hurt people sometimes, will fall down and have blood gushing from her leg and will still not say anything until her pants are dirty such a high pain tolerance, she has a tongue thrust wears glasses like coke bottles and mason has visual tracking issues and gets vison therapy.. I am on a tangent and happy to send you any of our tests if you want to see.. I did take some pictures.
So all that aside, what do I say when they deny them?
Can I use PWN at that time even though we don’t have N IEP?
I read on one of your posts about requesting an outside evaluation, I can’t find it again. What words do I say to do that?
What other options do I have at the time they deny me and what words do I not say? They already think I am a crazy loon because I am a hot mess. I confuse the triplets sometimes and will say oh no mason does that not Colton and they have made comments I need to keep post it notes on the kids and every one laughs.
If we can’t get an IEP we lose all funding for the alternative school they are thriving in and I can’t send them to public school without tools either.. I feel lost. I am hoping this is read and that you have some words of guidance so I know how to continue this IEP process.. I am sorry it’s so long.
I have to tell you as a side note: had I found your blog before we left the school and they gradually took items I didn’t want taken off of Colton’s IEP it might have been a different situation. I am thankful for your passion to do this for families. Even if you read this after my meeting date I wanted to say that.
