[QUOTE="buddy, post: 516496, member: 12886"] I agree with JJJ, it is most likely they were simply reading level, math level type of testing that they do to see where she is for class grouping and to see if they would need to support her in this change. It is illegal to do any special education testing without your consent. (the only time that happens is after a long battle and you would KNOW about it, believe it or not there are times when parents dont want special help and refuse testing of a child that the school knows they are not helping and can't help without specialists, not hte usual situation on this kind of a board). So, if she is showing delays at this point they may chalk it up to a the school situation too and maybe offer reading recovery, or similar math supports because most kids start off with non Special Education supports to help them catch up if there is not an obvious disability (Down's syndrome etc... you know what I mean). I DO understand the fear though. You do know there are issues she struggles with and even if she is typically able, her challenges may be too much to overcome at some point so you do want to be prepared, just in case she needs support along the way. This can happen often between grades 3-5 and again in middle school because the levels of communication, independence, language dramatically increase and change. For now, the trauma of the other school is going to make your heart flutter every time you hear something is going on. It will take a while. and by the way of course everything is going to seem easy to her right now....consider what she was being pushed to do in the other place??? It will likely quickly even out. Maybe they noticed that it was easy for her too and think she needs a higher reading or math group??? you just never know. But you can call and ask.... Just say to the teacher that you heard there was some assessment done and you would love to know how things are going, etc. Sets the stage for some good communication as the year goes on and into next year. Hang in there....let us know what you find out. HUGS [/QUOTE]
