[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 29517, member: 23"] This can get a bit complicated. It's my understanding that as long as the student graduates without alternative assessments and meets the curriculum requirements, an IEP student would graduate with a regular diploma. This also involves a transition plan. From [url]http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/trans.plan.graham.htm[/url] : emplasis added From [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20080512052619/http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20061800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/pdf/06-6656.pdf[/url] : There are no IEPs for college students, however, Section 504 does cover students with disabilities. It's quite different from the level of support that can be expected in college vs public schools. Also, a college student has to qualify for 504 accommodations. You might want to do some research via several different Universities' websites to get an overview of the process. IEP mean Individual Education Plan, so I'm not sure what you mean by being treated different. By students? By teachers? By administration? My thoughts are kudos to difficult child's high school. I find it amazingly refreshing that a high school would approach a student with supports that can be afforded via an IEP. I see too many that just want student's to age out or drop out if they are having difficulty. In that difficult child has been offered this opportunity, there must be a need. I would go forward with-the IEP evaluation. If they want her evaluated and she refuses, I suspect she'll have a hard time graduating, and may end up frustrated and drop out of school when maybe even a little bit of help and/or support will help her achive her goal -- college. Be sure and click on the url above and read it (wrightslaw). I'd also call whoever is requesting the evaluation and get additional information. Check your SEA regs regarding regular diploma requirements. [/QUOTE]
