if you child had an iep

[southeastastra]

how long did they have one?

when were they signed off from it?

dd1 has had one rom year 1 -date. she is now in year 3.

i always come out of the meetings feeling really fed up. ds(6) has one, he's in year 2

Officially ds (14) still has his from year 1, every year the teachers say 'Oh he shouldn't be on it, we'll take him off' and every year nothing is done about it.

does he still have targets rantinghw?!

ds1 has one, he's in reception. He's had it since he was at nursery.

No, he was on it for excitable behaviour in lessons and for his handwriting.
He's just started Upper School and his Middle said that they would review the situation and probably take him off it. But as of yet, we have heard nothing in regard to it.
It wasn't mentioned at parents evening but, as he's doing really well and been put in top sets for all his core subjects, I was too excited about his excellent progress to ask

He's been on it since year 1.

good to hear he's doing well rhw

DS2 (9) has had one since he was 5. He's Dyspraxic, so a clear need and I value it as a formal, on paper, means of seeing whether he's meeting IEP targets and actually progressing. It will help in my (and the school's) current battle with our local Children's Services (bless 'em - aren't they just great )to get him a laptop to use in class.

that's good hassled, i suppose i just wonder when it will all stop, my son's been referred to so many things now

Have you a co-ordinator at the school, if he's meeting his targets, surely they can reduce them.

the targets don't seem too bad and the co-ordinator is good at the school. just wondering how long it will take him to catch up with the others

If it helps ds couldn't even talk properly when he first went to school (had speech therapy), his maths was appalling and he just never concentrated on anything.
FF to now and he's the upper range of KS6 for all his core subs (even maths) and doing really well.
Once he got to the last couple of years of middle, he really pulled himself up by the bootstraps.

sounds like mine! that's good to hear

This is going to sound silly (and probably my imagination) but when he went to Middle, he had some really good male teachers. And they seemed to have a really good influence on him, I think they made him listen up and believe that if he worked hard, he could do it. They were very good at helping him build confidence, which made him want to learn.
Cheesy, I know, but....

no it doesn't sound cheesy at all. my son has only had young female teachers with changes to teachers mid term. we do have one male great teacher at the school, just hope ds gets him.

he influenced my ds(14) alot.
