How should I handle students who are placed in my class (vocational) without me having prior knowlege? Apparently decisions are made and students are placed without having IEP meetings prior to the placement. It should not be a guessing game who is and who is not a special needs student. Most of the time I do have prior knowlege, but I always end up having 2 or 3 students that are placed without my knowlege initially. HELP!!!
