Son is in 1st grade, gen ed, public school Academically inclined. Socially delayed, can be violent, big behaviors, Autistic, Emotional Impairment classification on IEP.
Student is to receive Social Work services, multiple times per month.
School started in August. No SW on staff, parents aren't informed. Mother emails team (including SPED Director) multiple times asking for a plan or meeting. Neither happen, due to staff availability.
October, virtual social work services start. Student received 2 virtual sessions. Virtual SW goes on maternity leave. (No shade, hooray for babies!)
November, school still doesn't inform parents that services aren't being provided. Parents receive PWN letter stating that SW services cannot be provided due to staffing. That they will evaluate need for compensatory services once staff is hired and that compensatory services cannot take place during the regular school day.
Now what? We have an advocate, waiting to hear back. We are already considering state complaint for issues last year.
Bless your heart for making it thru this post. I so appreciate you taking the time to read and consider.
