IEP Annual Review - Middle School Edition
Tomorrow is DD's IEP review; I want to push for getting her into a writing lab or "study skills" class, because she is still struggling with getting her thoughts down on paper. She's in 6th grade, but also has ADHD and lost time to fine-tune her skill set due to what passed for remote classes during COVID.
This is not meant to be a dig at teachers who did their best without support from their schools/districts. I thought the district's lack of a plan for the 2020-'21 school year was downright criminal and made things millions of times harder on the teachers. DD and I also struggled with school-at-home a lot of the time, but having the IEP in place helped us keep her supported by the right people.
My brother Ger had writing lab with one of my favorite teachers when he was in high school, but not in middle school. Of course, our district was way smaller than the one DD is in, so it's understandable that they lacked the resources.
Is writing lab a thing in middle school? If so, how do I ask for it?
