I am in college and taking a class entitled Education of Exceptional Children. I need a parent who can answer some questions about their experience with the school in regard to the IEP, Inclusion, and personal experiences with the school system to use as a basis for my final paper. I have a list of questions that I would be happy to email to a respondent. Thank you!

  1. IEP doesn't work for all kids.. it's just a document that protects the school... in case parents turn around and say the school didn't do anything for the kid...


  2. my name is cess my son is in the 9th grade email me he has has had an IEP since Trans K

  3. email it to me at mmuhleman@sbcglobal.net I like these surveys and will be happy to help.

  4. Two of my children have had IEPs.  My daughter had one for three years, but it was decided this year that she did not need it anymore because she was doing fine academically, and does not have any disorders.

    My step son has one presently and has had one for the almost four years that he has lived with us.  He has PTSD and ADHD.  The school does not always go along with what they are supposed to, but for the most part they do...

    My youngest son has just been approved for a 504 Plan because he is disabled with a mood disorder (most likely bipolar).  He will be six in July and will be starting Kindergarten in the fall.  I asked the school for an IEP for him and he was denied because they want to see how he will do first.  They said that we will meet one month after school starts to see how he is doing.  I had to fight to even get him covered under Section 504.  They denied me at the first meeting, then I went on the internet and researched all I could about his disability and the laws.  I went back with an information packet for each person at the meeting, and a letter from his therapist.  They gave me a 504 plan without a problem that time.  I learned that I am going to have to fight to get him the accommodations that he needs.

  5. My son has attended school with an IEP for two years.  He is bipolar, though, with average IQ.
