Just spoke to my wonderful IEP coordinator at the DOE and she suggested that I consider requesting a resource room for DD if DD is struggling. Anyone has any experience with that? DD is in 1st gr, currently getting Speech and OT for 'delays' and is somewhat struggling with reading. What's your experience/thoughts on the resource room?

    • Is your child in a public school? The RR is pull out remediation for smaller groups of kids - 5-8 kids usually where they focus on learning issues with learning specialist. We are in private so when we get this service we have to find someone who contracts with the DOE and filling the mandate is close to impossible.

      • DD is in a charter school which I think works more like private than public.

        • The question is then, do they have a resource room on site, if not, welcome to my nightmare.

          • Hmm.. Good question. I'll find out. It's a small school that just opened, so I guess they may not have a resource room. What do you do? Do you think DC would really benefit? The teacher is already working with her and 3 more kids (the weak group) on reading, so I am not sure the resource room would make a lot of difference.

            • Like so many things, depends on the teacher, both classroom and resource room. What about having DD tested to better define issue?

              • I'd like to do that, but not sure where to go. She's had so many evals from board of Ed, none of which even recommend to follow up with any given specialist, let along point out a specific issue. I don't have 5K to spend on some fancy neuropsych. as people suggest on this board. Any rec?
