What we're going to ask for at the upcoming IEP/ARD

This is really, really long, so I'm going to break it down into sections. This one is about her homework, which is currently taking us approximately 3 hours a day (due to particular subjects), 7 days a week. That's not workable with her needs at home and private therapy appointments, etc. Testing is also an issue; on her most recent test she scored a 0 - she didn't write down anything at all because she froze up completely. Memorization is a major issue; multiplication tables last year nearly killed us. Now that we're working on states and capitals, she can't do 10+ of them in a week. She had no problem the previous week with the smaller assignment of 4 states and capitals.

Desired Accommodations:

1. Monitoring during independent work
2. Read, simplify, clarify directions on assignments and tests, including standardized tests
3. Additional time given to retrieve details when answering questions verbally by 25%
4. Extended time to complete assignments and tests, including standardized tests up to 50%
5. Extended time of 50% for complex memorization assignments before testing OR
6. Breaking down memorization assignments into smaller testing sections if 70% or better mastery is not being attained on pre-test
7. Science and Social Studies assignments modified in length by 50%
8. Reduced homework assignments by 50%
9. Additional time for homework given of 1 day if needed. Parent will email communication to teacher of why time is necessary (therapy appointments that afternoon, meltdown, not understanding instructions for assignment given, not all materials present for assignment) that night for the teacher to access in the morning and will also note in Caitlyn’s planner why the assignment is not yet complete.
10. Check with Caitlyn prior to test taking to determine her anxiety level and prompt to utilize relaxation techniques.
11. Each homework assignment clearly written in the appropriate class square of Caitlyn’s planner by the aide or teacher of that class
12. Review all homework assignments are easily identified and written in Caitlyn’s planner before going home at end of day. Due date for each assignment should be clearly marked on corresponding square in planner to prompt Caitlyn to turn in assignment during that class time.
13. In each class, Caitlyn’s binder/bag/folder(s) to be checked, as applicable, before an assignment is declared “missing”.
14. Parent emailed that day if assignment is missing.
15. Review all homework materials are present and easily identifiable in Caitlyn’s binder, folder, or bookbag as applicable.
16. No penalty to grading of late assignments if 11-15 were not provided.
