I love michigan because when it comes to special needs kids.. they jump if you write or email regarding your kids special neess. 3 years ago they ahut down an entire company because of complaints. They gave me crap my kiddos first day. I wrote an email less than 24 hrs later and they started calling me to bring him back.
Make some noise for your child. Iep is a binding contract. Also if you are not satisfied you can file a civil suit against your district...the minute they stop honoring the iep.
Fact..
If your kids school doesn't provide face to face then they have to find a school for you that does and provide transportation per your iep. If you chose online im not sure about the rules but its not hard to get that info.
Sorry to hear this you may need to call an IEP meeting to address your concerns, Distant learning is challenging for our kids hope it helps.
Is a very stressful time for all of us I am going through a lot of trouble with the school right now. Having a advocate is crucial.
I’m not sure what state you live in but, I may reach out to a disability rights office or something similar—like a clients rights advocate. They should be able to help you advocate for your children especially let you know if what may or may not be available with respect to COVID-19. Sometimes knowing rights down to the law is helpful to use when advocating.
I hope all works out well
