Son has an IEP that addresses executive functioning and writing with pretty much the same three goals for 3+ years.
He was not provided any services during his freshman year (Covid), sophomore year turned out to be a bust (special Ed teacher essentially was lying on progress updates). We have finally advanced in this his junior year!
While credit is due to his school for writing advancements, his EF (organization) skills advanced only because I finally figured out something that works for him.
However, he’s still not in a place where he will be ready for post-secondary education next year. Had the services been provided as they should have been, he likely would have been ready.
At this late stage of the game, I can think of no compensatory services that could help him. He just needs time, which we are nearly out of and his advancement in life is forever delayed.
I’m not one to seek monetary damages for “life happens” events. But I find myself wondering if a monetary award is due to him.
My research finds money being reimbursed for tutors and counseling attained, but nothing about when it’s too late to recover for services lost/not provided.
