An interesting option came up at DD's IEP today. I can exempt her from the VAAP. This was brought up because I want her to focus on some very basic skills that she is missing. Exempting her would mean that she wouldn't have to waste her time at school doing ASOL strands that aren't appropriate for her, leaving more time to work on remedial math and reading skills. She's in 7th grade working at a K/1 level. Due to significant behaviors in her past, this is the first year that she's really available for instruction. If I was HSing her, I would definitely ditch everything else and focus on reading and basic math. By exempting her from the testing portfolio, I am essentially creating the same for her at school. She's in a private day placement with 1:1 support. The school is fantastic.

 

Is this something to consider? Basically, the school can't propose it, but I can.
