[QUOTE="Elise N. T., post: 149559, member: 1495"] How would I go about getting the school district to do an assessment? He has an IEP and a 504 for his ADHD. He tested out of speech therapy a year ago. He gets one-on-one time with a Special Education teacher for a little bit every day, although she herself admits she has no idea what to do with him because he is ahead in his school work so she just lets him work on his current obsession. He has an IEP meeting next month. Do I ask them to assess him for sensory issues? Or ask for occupational therapy? If he has Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) are they required to give him therapy for it? He most definitely needs it. I just got a copy of his records from when he was 2 1/2 and his therapists noted sensory issues and suggested continued occupational therapy. He never got that because the school he went to only had physical and speech therapy. I really wish I'd known back then what sensory issues were but no one ever explained it to me and I didn't have the internet. He gets attached to a certain pair of pants and refuses to change them for days because all the other pairs feel bad and bother him. Then when we wash the favorite pants and give them back he won't wear those because he's become used to the ones he has on. He never wears socks without a huge tantrum because they don't feel right. All tags must be cut out of shirts. He has a high tolerance for cold. Loud noises and bright lights terrify him (it is for this reason alone he has to go under general anesthesia for dental work). He constantly brushes against walls and crawls/spins/rolls on the floor. [/QUOTE]
