During this class, it was observed that the P.E. teacher was using a tape barrier to segregate this student from others in the class. Ms. Norris, a special education teacher, took notice of this and reported the incident to the principal. Nothing had changed, and the student continued to be segregated. The parents learned about this and quickly requested a special education due process hearing. ]]> 2022-06-09 23:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jireh_pascual/a8rm8rgmpxrrhoe7/wish/2216813715 jireh_pascual https://padlet.com/jireh_pascual/a8rm8rgmpxrrhoe7/wish/2217799374 Lisa Lightner writes about the stress she, and many other mothers face when advocating for their children's services.

This offer is a legally binding contract between the school district and the parent for services. This implies that a school is in breach of the law if it fails to provide the services that were agreed upon in the IEP. When a school breaks the law, the consequences may include paying for the student's legal fees, as well as the school system providing services to make up for the loss of services.]]> 2022-06-11 20:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jireh_pascual/a8rm8rgmpxrrhoe7/wish/2218290334 jireh_pascual https://padlet.com/jireh_pascual/a8rm8rgmpxrrhoe7/wish/2218292071 Parents may wonder why occupational therapy is needed for a child with special needs.
