Subject: Request for IEP Meeting to Discuss Placement Change
Dear [Case Manager’s Name],
I am writing to formally request an IEP meeting to discuss changing my child’s placement from the SAILS program to an inclusion (flusher) classroom.
I believe this change would better meet my child’s current needs because:
- [Reason 1: e.g., “She has met most of her IEP goals for the year.”]
- [Reason 2: e.g., “She shows increased independence in daily tasks.”]
- [Reason 3: e.g., “She benefits from more social interaction with same-age peers.”]
I would also like to discuss the option of a short trial period in the inclusion classroom to assess how my child adapts.
Please let me know the earliest available date for this IEP meeting. Thank you for your time and dedication to my child’s education.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

From one mom to another:
When I did this for Hirah, I started with her joining the inclusion class just for art and music. She loved it, and it gave her confidence to do more. Sometimes, a slow transition works best.
