A year ago my son qualified for services for emotional disturbance (pervasive mood of depression at school) and ADHD. He also qualifies for speech and OT services. He is currently in third grade.
He is behind in his writing and spelling skills, but previous evaluations did not indicate that he has a writing disability.
His current goals focus on Social Skills, Speech and OT. He does not have academic goals.
His IEP is coming up. Can I request an academic goal around writing (developing ideas within writing; applying correct grammar, capitalization and punctuation; applying grade-level spelling patterns in written work)? I believe that his ADHD and emotional disturbance have contributed to his problems with writing.
If I can request this type of academic goal, what is the best way to make the case for it?
