[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 556804, member: 1550"] Ha ha, IC. The threat alone does nothing, at least not in the US. You have to actually bring one and some aren't that great. You hopefully get one that the SD knows and respects/fears. It isn't easy to fight the schools. They will do all they can to point a finger back at you so that they don't have to implement an IEP. Certain magic words however make it impossible, which is why a "gotcha" label is so important. Our Dept. of Education's special needs advocate read me a list of disabilities that Wisconsin accepts. ADHD was not on it. Nor were "little" diagnosis. such as sensory disorders. They look for umbrella diagnoses, such as autistic spectrum disroder or bipolar disorder. And the children need to be tested by the SD. Sometimes that ends up at odds with a private evaluation, bu t a private evaluation MUST be counted as well. Fight, fight, fight is the word. If you are rich enough to hire a very expensive education lawyer, that is good, but most people can't afford that. And it isn't really necessary. An advocate knows all the state laws too...and therein lies his/her power, IF she is very dedicated. [/QUOTE]
