[QUOTE="Freeda111, post: 188280, member: 5785"] Update: Hi Christy! Got a call yesterday morning from our school that said they would do just that! He will get writing assistance during the time the evaluations are being done. Also, I went ahead and scheduled private evaluations agian. NC STILL uses the discrepancy models, which require a 15 point difference between achievement and abilities. I can't believe that is still in the 2007 NC governing regulations. The way they get around the Federal rules is they have two other eligibility determinations that can be used, but what happens in the real world is all the school psycholgists prefer the discrepancy models because it is very easy to play with the numbers. They still may argue with the private evaluation, depending on what it says, but at least we'll have some wiggle room. I really hate all the research hours and money we spend, but I also know that many children who need help don't get it because their parents can't or don't know what to do to have the best chance at getting services for their children.
