DS3 is 3 next month and has been attending a SN pre-school since February (2 days per wk) and main stream pre-school since September (1 day). Today I was shown his IEP by the SN pre-school and was a bit surprised as he can already do most things they have set for targets. In fact, some things he has been able to do for almost a year. BUT, because he hasn't demonstrated this to the pre-school, they say they can't tick that he has achieved it, and therefore keep working on it. For example, "point to 3 body parts on self and others". He can verbally name 10 body parts and will do so when he wants to, but admittedly he won't do anything he doesn't want to do and it is hard to get him to comply with these kind of assessments. I may be missing something, but I can't see the value on continually working on something he can already do. What do others think?

Is it usual for IEP to set low targets? Am a bit [confused]
