[QUOTE="buddy, post: 514962, member: 12886"] IQ is only considered for some criteria for some educational categories. Specific learning disabilities used to be almost solely identified by the gap in learning/progress and IQ. (now there are other indicators if this is not the case) Autism/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) educational category does not include IQ. For example some kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have a genius level-high IQ and some have a lower IQ. It is all based very specific criteria and on need for services. Kids who receive IEP's for emotional and behavioral services do not have IQ as a qualification. Just a mental health/behavioral challenge that interferes with school development (in any area, even just social...but your son has academic issues). OF course for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmentally/cogntively delayed) programs... IQ is obviously significant. So, if they told you no IEP based only on IQ.... well, that I can confidently say is not true. Retention is not an evidence based practice and is not ever ever going to improve a special need. The only evidence based intervention is special education services. I am so glad Keista has ideas for advocacy. Sounds like your child is really being denied FAPE and you are being shoved around.
