Brandon's IEP

Tomorrow is Brandon's IEP meeting. I got a draft of it on Friday. Pretty impressive. His last one was about 4-6 pages. Well maybe more, but I don't remember the school giving me this kind of info about what he can and can't do. This one is 19 pages. There are 4 pages that are basically the evaluation part. The following 9 pages are his goals for next year. Last years was more like 2 pages of goals. There seems to be much more on non academic stuff. Brandon needs to sit in his chair, facing the table, and focus for 10 minutes. Last year was 7 minutes. Remain on task for 8 minutes, follow non-preferred directions without protest or getting upset. That's a big one. There are several goals that end in Brandon not getting upset. Basically teaching Brandon that he has to do thing that he doesn't want to do. There is also stuff on writing letters and number, reading and math. One thing that reading it has done for me is the thought that any school district we move to will not want to attempt this one and will leave him where he is. At this point, Jim doesn't even want to risk it, but I really want to leave the district for Lauren. I find more and more that the school is not following her IEP other then sending her to another class for language arts.
