I've never posted here before, but now that my ds officially qualifies for an IEP, I would love some help, advice, insight, anything.

DS, 5 yo, is in kindy and is a pretty bright kid, but has issues with controlling his emotions/outbursts/anger to the point an IEP study was done and he qualifies based on his emotional/behavioral deficiencies.

As part of the recommended IEP, we did not see any educational guidelines listed out. Is that normal? DH and I both feel strongly that while DS is getting the additional support/guidance he needs for emotional, he continues to grow academically.

For instance, if he is currently testing at 95% of his peers, we want him to still test at or above 95% a year from now. After all, this is an Individualized Education Plan.

Is this unreasonable? The feedback received so far to this idea has not been welcoming. Again, any advice, suggestions, thoughts, insight, ANYTHING would be appreciated. And if it makes a difference, we live in Illinois.

TIA!!!
