How do you get tutoring extended from the summer to over the school year?
We justt had it funded over the summer by the school. Any suggestions?

The same way you get any service — you have an IEP meeting and discuss the fact that he continues to need this service and figure out how to give it to him.

Legally, “we only have funding for summer” doesn’t cut it, even if that’s the fact. If you have in writing them saying that he needs that service, then legally they are required to provide it or find somebody else who can and pay for it.

Trying to make schools do something because theyre legally required to is a rough road, though, and doesn’t always get to the destination you desire. However, often if they figure out that you do, indeed, know the law and are willing to fight for what your kid needs — that’s enough for them to bite the bullet and provide it.
