[QUOTE="remclick, post: 556157"] Thanks for the replies. I want all the ideas and options I can get. He was evaluated in 2nd grade and came up with high cognitive score in the superior range - and average educational scores. His classroom performance has never lived up to any of this but with me helping him at home he ends up with a lot of Bs and sometimes Cs for final grades. I do plan on having him tested outside the school but I just don't see how it will make a difference to the school. They will say (and have said) he is just too successful at school to be eligible for any alternative schooling or even an IEP in the public school. His mood, inflexibility, irritability, etc. persevere throughout the summer and in all aspects of his life so I know that contributes to these school problems greatly but I don't think that school causes the mood problems. It does make them worse. I would like to see the results of auditory processing testing because I feel sure he has problems with that. I also thought a hearing test would be good just to rule out a hearing problem. I am waiting for his psychiatrist to write a letter that may help to have some of the testing covered by insurance. I just hate the idea of spending all this money and having it make no difference. I am afraid after all the testing the school will again say that they just don't have anything to offer him that is different. I have fought for everything I could get on his 504 and I meet with each teacher at the start of the year to go over what has worked well in the past and what to expect. I'm sure they think I am crazy but it absolutely makes them more aware of him and many go above and beyond in some way to help him be more successful. [/QUOTE]
