husband and I had our mini meeting this morning with difficult child's teacher, principal and school pysch. It went well for the most part. 504 plan should be in place by next Wednesday.
His teacher informed us that difficult child is so unfocused in group setting but one on one he is really focused and really articulate, etc. WELL DUH ???
She was a little defensive and I quickly put her in her place and told her no one was here to point fingers. We all have to take responsibility and that includes difficult child too.
School Pysch double talked a little and at one point said she put little stock in state testing scores. I again quickly reminded her that she continually informed me that difficult child's state testing scores indicated he was not in need of and IEP.
husband and I have decided at this time, to have difficult child reevaluated at another Children's Hospital not too far from home.
We kind of had a light bulb moment last night and agreed that difficult child really has made minimal progess at school. We agreed at home he has matured somewhat but really still struggles at school.
His anxiety seems to be up and he is really having some serious tics. I put a call into his PCP and spoke with Behavioral Health Administrator at Children's Hospital and then will be able to see him within 5 days after all paperwork is received and reviewed.
Until the new evaluation is done we agreed to hold off on the IEP and see how the 504 plan goes. We signed NOTHING.
I just need to find out what is the true core of difficult child's issues are.
Thanks for listening ... Shelly
