[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 125781, member: 3930"] Remember me? It's been awhile.... We have a meeting on Monday at difficult child's school. This meeting is called an "Eligibility Meeting". It will consist of a team of people from his school and me and husband. Apparently it is to go over the results from the evaluations they have conducted at our request to determine if he is eligible for an IEP or 504 plan. Today when I picked difficult child up from school, his teacher told me there were some papers for me in his backpack. She said because he will most likely not be eligible for special services, and because he is slipping in his academics (letters and sounds), she requested Title I/LAP for him. The papers ask for my signature. I know nothing about this - I am going to look it up this weekend, but I wonder - are they just trying to passify me because they are planning on giving us bad news at the meeting on Mon? I don't understand why he wouldn't qualify for some services. He is now taking ADHD medications and they seem to help some, but we cannot for the life of us get him to do his homework and he is 5 weeks behind in it. I wanted to either ask to have someone work with him after school on his homework and/or less homework. I cannot believe 5 year olds have this much homework. Am I crazy for thinking homework should only be for what didn't get done at school - not actual packets of homework assigned each week?!?! Sheeesh! Any advice is appreciated as always! Thanks!
