LaToya,
It is wonderful to meet you, I also have three dogs and understand the time it takes to care for three dogs.
What caught my eye in your post was the student you had in your class that had a one on one aid. Taking notes and escorting him everywhere was certainly in his IEP. He possibly had a processing disorder that prevented him from writing and listening at the same time, or he simply couldn't write yet. I know from personal experience that getting a one on one is very hard to do with in the FAPE. There has to be a clear need for the extra cost to the school. My son has traditions issues which stems from processing issues, I was not granted a one on one so instead I hired a private ABA specialist to join him for two hours to help
