IEPs in the classroom
My child’s IEP is followed in-terms of service hours from specialists. But her classroom experience is not. In a large class, I can hardly expect the teacher to modify her class work. Are Special Ed teachers supposed to actively helps the classroom teacher modify class work?

Does your child receive paraprofessional support in the classroom? If not, having a paraprofessional in the classroom with your child can be a game changer. It costs to school district money, so you may have to push hard for it, but you should be able to get this added to the IEP.
If they give you a hard time threat to report them to the state. https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/publications/the-road-to-resolution-…
It is the responsibility of all the adults on campus to be implementing your child's IEP as it is written. That includes your child's case manager/ specialist and her mainstream teacher. I'd recommend requesting an IEP meeting to discuss your child's in-class experience and the work they're being given. Then you can discuss your specific concerns with the work, and the modifications and accommodations she is supposed to receiving in class, and if there are any that need to be added. Like does she need alternative assignments or does she need to just have the same assignments with some modifications. Once it's written into the IEP then the team should be implementing it.
