I am confused which these days seems normal. If I am reading correctly, and actually seeing kids in regular classes correctly extremely handicapped kids can be in reg ed. with accomadations.
My son has a speech delay but doing great but he has to stay in sped.
Just asking for clarifications.
Re: Why is speech sped not accomadation?

So you would like your child to attend regular ed. classes. It is absolutely possible for students who have disabilities to be mainstreamed into the reg. classroom with accommodations. The IEP will determined how long a student will receive special services and how much time he will be in the regular class. Your son should also be given the opportunity to attend regular classes.
You need to talk to your child’s teacher and suggest he go out to reg. classes on a trial period. Do this right away at the beginning of the school year. I would suggest only 1 or 2 classes at first, so he doesn’t feel too overwhelmed. Pick his strongest areas.
If the teacher refuses, then you need to ask for an IEP meeting so you can change his IEP and put him in the reg. classroom. If this happens, you need to come very prepared as to the accommodations your son needs.
However, if the teacher agrees to trial your son out for 1 or 2 classes have her report to you on his progress based on the reg. ed. teacher’s evaluations.
Good Luck!
