Thank you for the suggestion. It should help me.

MSMomm has provided good suggestions; I'd like to invite you to join Greatschools Learning and Attention Difficulties Group at community.greatschools.net/groups/11554 for additional advice and support.

Is the teacher aware that your son has an IEP?

Whether she is or not, I would suggest you schedule a meeting with her, the special ed coordinator and the principal or assistant principal to discuss your son's IEP and what resources he should be receiving and what accommodations are to be made in the classroom. Also bring a list of his strengths and weaknesses with you, along with your expectations.

Thereafter, keep in communication with his teacher regarding your son's progress. You can also have your son's IEP modified by asking that the teacher provide you with daily or weekly reports on your son. I had my son's IEP state that I was to receive weekly written reports from the teacher regarding my son's progress.
