As a teacher I was wondering this.
No legal ramifications, but if the teacher is providing more accommodations because the child requires them in order to perform, then the IEP needs to be amended to include the "extra" accommodations. In all fairness to the child, if he or she needs the extra accommodations and they do not appear in the IEP, then the next teacher who is the child’s teacher will not be fully aware of what is needed.

I don’t think there are any ramifications as long as the child is being taught and learning. My son has an IEP and if his teacher does more for him then that is fine. I am just glad he has a teacher that takes his best interest to heart. I feel they wouldn’t do more if they felt they didn’t need it. As far as legally I have no idea.
