One of my son’s elementary school is attemptingto transfer him from his current school to his school of record which is a loftclassrooms setting. A loft classroom is 6 classrooms in one buildingsub-divided by half walls. This environment is NOT the appropriate educational settingfor my son to thrive in. I am in the process of filing for due process underthe IDEA.  The issue is that not only does thedistrict NOT have ADA fillable forms for me to utilize, being visually impaired, butalso the state does not have them. I am hindered by this in that this is notfair access to the forms I need to advocate for my son.  Additionally, the instructions on howto obtain this form in the “Notice of Procedural Safeguards” are incorrect. Theseinstructions are being provided to all the parents that are dealing with IEPsand is preventing them from easily obtaining them for filing for due process. Onehas to phone the district office and attempt to track the correct person in chargeof their school and have them email it. This is time consuming and tedious,complicate this in my case by lack of vision and you have a very messy issue. Does anyone have any advice to assistme on how to get a fillable copy or deal with the district and state to ensurefair accessibility to this form for not only myself but others? Kindest regards,Misty B-G
