You are, of course, an amazing advocate for your daughter(s) but in this instance an advocate for Mrs. A. as well. I am sure, she would much rather be with Sophie, but she is told what to do by her boss, either the special ed coordinator or principal. Even if Aides feel they should not be doing something they are told to do, they feel they do not have the power to speak up. (Aides who do, sometimes find they are given an extra duty or a crumbier one)

You made the right move and hopefully corrected a situation, not just for your daughter, but for the other children with IEP directed Aides across the district who are also being pulled for Dibels.

Sorry about that. I sent before I was finished. I’ve heard of situations such as this before and it would have to come from a higher authority. The reading person wouldn’t have the power. I came across this blog and thought I’d add a comment. Good luck at the IEP meeting.

I have a kiddo with similar issues and sometimes I have a hard time knowing what & how to make a fuss about IEP related issues. Seeing how you are handling the situation is a big help. Please post a follow-up if you can. Take care, Christa

Very sorry that you and the family had to deal with this apparent breach of trust. I would feel just the same as you were I in your shoes. I hope the situation is resolved properly and that you can feel fully confident in the school and staff again.
