Review of IEP

[asdx2]

So after the last farce IEP setting meeting it is time to review the IEP that I wrote that was enhanced by the HT to make it even more specific and more demanding on the TA's time tbh but she has a statement with 20 hours so not unfeasible.
Now I am pretty much certain that the IEP has been ignored certainly nothing has been mentioned in her home school diary, dd has no idea about or no knowledge of the stop/go card or feelings fan and there has been no sign of them on her desk or in her drawer.
Would I be unreasonable to ask for details of how dd has met the success criteria, which emotions have been worked on, in what circumstances has she indicated red with her card, which emotions on the feelings fan is she using consistently etc?
When the teacher and TA start floundering what then?

Absolutely not unreasonable. The magic word that sometimes works is evidence.

So ask, before the meeting, to see evidence of all that stuff.

do your worst - otherwise what is the point!

I generally don't have an issue with the paperwork (ARR/IEP etc) in the education system but I do have issues with jumping through all those hoops just to ignore the practical element!!!

your daughter deserves better

The IEP sets out your childs needs and what support your child is entitled to and the number of hours allocated to your child for the support. The school should have evidence to show , which members of staff will over see the support your child should get, the type of support e.g 1:1, group work,extra reading, etc, how often the support should be in place e.g 3 x 30 minute 1:1 literacy support.

At the review meeting (which you should be invited to and can bring along someone of your choice for support) the school staff should review all the targets, discuss your childs progress and set new targets. This should also take into account your views and your childs view. If you think your child can cope with it they should be invited to the review at the end and have a chance to say what they think. This might be with one person from the school and yourself(too many adults is overpowering for the child)

In between the IEP review your child class teacher/ta/support assistant, should be keeing you up to date on a weekly or at least every 2 week basis.

Parent Partnership are an excellent organisation who can advise you as well. Good luck

I know what they should be doing but I'm pretty much certain they aren't doing it I just need proof that they aren't doing it.
I have asked in her home school diary today for written evidence of what progress has been made towards the targets and the resources used. I won't hold my breath that I will get them though but have made TA and teacher aware that directly after IEP review I have a meeting with HT to discuss the proposed amended statement and the changes I want. Hopefully it will make them wary of repeating last term's farce.
