We are 10 months into our IEP. Fought to get evaluations and my mom hunch was correct, My Daughter (5th grade) was diagnosed with several specific learning and visual challenges.
On her list of accommodations/modifications, it reads "Setting" - Frequency - Individual Testing for tests, State tests (SOLS) - she gets verbal testing. Last year, all of her tests (classroom or SOL) were done in a different room typically with the special education teacher or a para-professional. This year, her computer has a "reader" added to it and she just puts headphones on but she is taking the tests in the classroom and gets incredibly anxious when others/most of the class finishes before her. When I read the accommodations/modification it seems that individual testing does not mean classroom testing. Am I wrong? If she should be getting these tests done individually should I proceed with an email to the teacher and special education so it is documented? DO I wait until parent/teacher conferences? Should I request that the special education teacher be in parent-teacher conferences?

Thanks for your insight and assistance.
