[QUOTE="Freeda111, post: 187455, member: 5785"] Thanks Shelia. We also have a private tutor who is a Special Education teacher from another District who told us she thinks there is a current "push from above" to reduce the numbers of children being pulled for resource time. Since this is technically a "change in placement" because he will spend more time in the resource room, I think they may be looking for a technicality to keep from adding more time. However, my other main concern is that this is the Easy Child teacher we will work with all year. If I thought she wasn't arguing about if he qualifies for writing services, but just saying that he needs the testing to prove it, I would feel better letting this slide. I try really hard to be a team player, to keep things from being confrontational. But taking your advise to others several years ago after meeting with resistance from the school to do testing, we went to Greenville and got all of our testing done privately. Then when presented with a very complete evaluation and recommendations for remediation, the school has for the most part done what he have asked. I think I need to tread lightly, but maybe presenting the above letter will be all it takes to calm this down. I told the new Easy Child teacher yesterday that she needed to concentrate on DJ's current needs as she defines them in the first few weeks of school, and I'll be willing to give permissions for any re-evaluations that the school wants to do. Privately I already know that if I don't agree with their results, we will go back to Greenville. Thanks again, and I'll keep you posted! [/QUOTE]
