Let me start by saying, the dog should be allowed in the classroom. I do wonder what the issue is about the I.E.P. (Individualized Education Plan), though. I am a certified regular education teacher, so my knowledge of special education specifics is somewhat limited, but I thought a student could have an I.E.P. for a serious medical issue without intellectual testing. I had a student with cerebral palsy who had an I.E.P. dealing with physical issues, but that student made straight A's. She was far from being learning disabled. Surely this school district could make a distinction between the two.
