The best place to start is with that student’s counselor. Be prepared with specific examples and, if possible, data to show that the student needs more support.

Data. Data. Data. Also, bring it up with that student’s IEP case manager BEFORE the IEP meeting. Discuss your concerns in a very student-centered way

Agreed! Talking to the case manager before the meeting is so import.

First, document! The IEP is built by committee, and you are a vital part of that. Document what's working and what isn't, and then problem-solve. You can always bring those issues up with committee members and brainstorm ways to increase support.

Services are directly tied to needs. You have to be able to indicate there’s a need that can only be supported by specialized instruction (service). A lot of needs can often be addressed through accommodations opposed to services. I would try documenting the intervention your using that suggests additional specialized instruction is needed. I would also share that info and ask for suggestions from the case manager for interventions and instruction.

smart

Yup, like everyone else has said, collect data. Reach out to the student and parent first to make sure you’ve tried everything and then approach superiors with the problem and a few suggested solutions

Best place to start is the students case manager. A counselor doesn’t write the IEP

I love my kid so much. He was with me throughout all of elementary but has been at the middle school for the past 3 years. He had only a handful of kids he knew from our elementary. He made all of his new friends on his own. I have been meeting them one by one and am sooooo impressed with their character, manners, interests, and grades. He chose his friends wisely! Anyone else experience this?
