One of the girls in this class has reading time with one of the specialty teachers for the last hour of school after lunch. She struggles a little bit with reading and they have found out that this method helps her so much and she is keeping up to grade level just fine and she isn't falling behind in any other subjects. I believe this to be part of her IEP. She has an agreement between her parents, and both sets of teachers on what is supposed to happen. I haven't really talked to the general ed teacher about the details of this plan but as far as I understand they go over this at least once a year to reevaluate what the student needs.
I do know that when they go over the IEP every year the student likes to be there. She may not understand everything but she does like to be there, which I think is important. I feel like the child needs to be at least a little bit aware of what they will be doing in school before they actually start school. This student is really excelling in school and progressing really well. This just shows that the laws that have been made for students with, for lack of a better term, special needs are receiving the help that they need to be able to succeed in life and are being given the tools to be able to figure things out by their self once they get older. It is really impressing me!
