The Soft Negotiation Game Is Not A Real Choice For The Parents

Federal court case, David DOE, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Big Walnut Local School District Board of Education, et al., Defendants, involves the maltreatment of a disabled child in the state of Ohio. Participants of this case include plaintiffs’, David and Mary Doe (parents of disabled child), John Doe (disabled child) and defendant Big Walnut School District Board of Education (school board). John Doe has been diagnosed with Cognitive disability as a result he is required to have an Individualized Education Plan ("IEP"). Due to ongoing “below average general intellectual functioning, self-direction, and communication deficits” listed within his IEP from May 24, 2007, John was placed in a Resource Room at Big Walnut Middle School to assist in the advancement of his education. There were reports of inappropriate behavior involving John Doe’s interactions and encounters with other students, which Principal House was made aware of by the facilitators. John Doe expressed his constant torment of victimization with

It seems that in this country people want to rush to the courts to fix things. George could not be fixed by the courts so the time had come to be realistic about meeting George’s needs as no law in the United States gives the state the right to NOT meet his needs. Having looked at the final settlement and the numbers involved it seems clear to me that the family was not out to “milk the school district”. They wanted simply to see their son get the most he could get from the educational system and become as viable of an American citizen as possible. This case cries out for thinking outside the box and putting the child first. Unfortunately, as I have seen from interviewing other teachers many parents simply want a fix for their unfixable child. This case does not fall into this category and the fact that in the end solutions were found demonstrates that point.

Summary of issue #1: Drew has been in the public school system for four years and he has started some disruptive behaviors since second year which has affected in his education. The school has tried to create IEP’s, but according the parents those plans were not effective. According to the facts of the case the IEP’s that was created for Drew has been repeated three years with less or no changes and the parents believe it is the reason why their son had no progress in his education. As soon as the child was enrolled in the private school he shows a progress in his education.

Action: MHP and MHS attend the IEP meeting at Clarence’s school with the DSS worker and adoption worker. MHP provided support to MHS as she answers questions regarding Clarence’s behaviors in the home and community. The school official review the past IEP and explain the classes from that school district is not offered at Berkeley Middle. The DSS worker asks questions about assistance in the class room and request an update of skills learning. The school official provides each person a copy of the IEP plan.

They state they are unhappy with the current behavior plan and request that the school access their plan and make appropriate adjustments. The IEP team should be accepting of the parents' input and consider using a family centered approach where “professionals encourage the families to make their own choices” (book). This model can lead to a professional level of interaction among families and the IEP team. It can also lead to a dynamic and productive meeting now and in the future, since the parents feel that their input is being valued. Without this approach, the parents and school may begin dispute each other’s ideas, limiting the progress made during their

A student’s IEP team is responsible for developing their Individualized Education Program (IEP). IDEA requires that a team of people participate in the child’s IEP meeting and that each of those individuals are provide opportunity to provide valuable input about the child and their education. IDEA requires that the IEP be made up of the student’s parents and the student if it is found to be appropriate. There should also be no less than one regular education teacher if the child is participating in the regular education setting or may be taking part in the regular education setting in the future. The student’s special education teacher, a representative of the local educational agency, someone who posses the training and ability to interpret the evaluation results, and other individuals who have knowledge or expertise regarding the student (typically related service providers) are required to be at the child’s IEP team meetings (Wrightslaw, 2015).

The IEP is a program in which there is a written statement that is developed, reviewed, and revised for every student that qualifies for it. Teachers need the student’s parents to be involved in every step of forming and carrying out the IEP. Teachers and parents can come to agreement on what goals should be in the IEP for that students and how the student will obtain these. The program is not designed to worry about

Once the student is found eligible for special education services through psychological testing, and the student is found eligible for services, then an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed. When developing the IEP, the team must first consider the student’s home school in a general education environment as the Lease Restrictive Environment (LRE). In such an instance the student would be served in an inclusive classroom setting (Hornby, 2015). The inclusive setting provides support to the student

When making an important decision in life, you should take every aspect into consideration, as each aspect has the capability of affecting those around you. As educators, I feel it’s our duty to create the best possible scenario for each of our students, allowing them to achieve success in the classroom setting. In order for our students to achieve success, we have to make special accommodations for students, especially with their placement in the school setting. It can become very difficult to make these placement decisions, as many people are affected by the decision you make. When we make the decision of placing our students in the least restrictive environment, there are many aspects to take into consideration, as many students, families, and staff are affected by your decision.

Parents, along with at least one regular education teacher, the special education teacher, a representative of the local educational agency, an individual who can interpret evaluation results, individuals who posses special expertise regarding the child, and the student, if appropriate and if they are at least 14 years of age, gather to become the IEP committee and work to develop an educational plan that will meet the needs of a particular student. The committee also works to ensure that the student is placed in the best educational environment for their needs that will be the least restrictive (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act,

This assignment helped me to show what items are included in a IEP and in a IFSP. This assignment helped me to learn how hard it can be to communicate with families if the school does not have the same view. I found this very useful because when it is time for me to be part of an IEP, I could then use this knowledge. I learned so much from my group though we were split half of us were the school and half of us were the family we ended up working together and I learned a lot of interesting facts and most importantly I learned creative ways to better help a child in this case we read about. I wonder how hard this can be for a parent who doesn’t have this knowledge?
