[Perform-Talk] Question

[Leslie Hamric]

Hi all. I was at a students IEP meeting this afternoon and they have braille music instruction is one of the goals. However, since the TI is not comfortable doing a braille music assessment because he does not know braille music, they're looking for someone else who could assess the student. Apparently it has to be someone within the county that the student lives in. Does such a person even exist, someone that can do a braille music assessment? I've been working with this student since they were six years old. and yet I can't be the one to do the assessment because I don't live in the county that they live in. i'm just wondering if the school district is just wasting time spinning its wheels. I've never run into this before and I'm wondering if there's anybody who has and would appreciate any thoughts. apparently the school district can't move forward on this instruction because they don't have the data that they need. i'm kind of wondering what the point is since the student is working with me in the first place. Again, thoughts would be very much appreciated because I've never run into this before. This is also my very first time advocating at an IEP meeting so I'm new to this.uuu
