Despite receiving special education services since kindergarten, Valerie spent years making little academic progress. Her mother repeatedly expressed concerns, but each year, rather than provide additional supports or a more appropriate school, the Committee on Special Education (CSE) would lower Valerie's promotional criteria.\r\n\r\nAt an Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting in sixth grade<span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\">\u2014<\/span>una reuni\u00f3n que la escuela intent\u00f3 celebrar por primera vez sin notificar adecuadamente a su madre o a los proveedores de servicios<span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\">\u2014<\/span>the Department of Education (DOE) maintained that Valerie's services were going well and her only other option would be a school in District 75, the city-wide district serving students with the most significant disabilities, where the academics would be way below her level.\r\n\r\nWith AFC's assistance, Valerie's mother placed her at the School for Language and Communication Development (SLCD), a private special education school, and we filed an impartial hearing request to secure her tuition. At a new IEP meeting, AFC successfully argued that Valerie's old middle school was inappropriate and SLCD could better meet her learning needs, and the DOE settled the case. Since starting at SLCD in January, Valerie's mom reports that she has \"taken a 180 degree detour\": at her previous school, her confidence was suffering enormously, but now she loves going to school, her grades have been improving, and she is even starting to read for fun again. After making good progress in summer school, Valerie was promoted to seventh grade, and she started the new school year ready and excited to learn!","":null,"settings":""}}],"relationships":{"":null,"topic":[28],"misc_topics":false},"misc":{"disable_sticky_helpbar":false,"search_results":{"":null,"excerpt":"","featured_image":""}},"component_slide":{"":null,"image":5577,"custom_tag":"","kicker":"Valerie's Story","title":"Con el apoyo de AFC, Valerie fue colocada en la escuela donde &quot;ha dado un giro de 180 grados&quot;: ahora le encanta ir a la escuela, sus notas han mejorado e incluso est\u00e1 empezando a leer de nuevo por diversi\u00f3n.","link_text":"Read the full story"}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
