When did the IEP system start?  I know I am giving away my age but I have no memory of them. 


I lost hearing in my left ear at age 5 but the right remained very good into adulthood.  From the time I went into 1st grade in 1948 through my grade school years (1-8 as we had no jr. high or middle school at that time) they just kept an eye on it by doing checks without a soundbooth.  They were done with earphones in the room that was the teachers lounge at other times; it was also used for speech for those that got that. During HS I had no problem just asking for a front row seat or on the side in one class where the teacher spent more time talking from there.  I remember no problems from this.
