[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 528780, member: 1550"] Well, our SD tried to do this with Sonic, and we wouldn't sign. Furthermore, we had him tested by a private neuropsychologist and got a private school advocate who went to all the meetings with us. Just by the way V. is acting, he certainly DOES have learning issues. I have no idea what kind of test your son did, but I would want to be in charge of the testing...school testing is notoriously horrible. Also, if you get him a 504, you will have a lot of trouble changing it to an IEP if it turns out that he needs one later on. We had this problem with Daughter. She never did get her IEP back. You can find your free parent advocate by calling your state Department of Education and asking for the person in charge of Special Needs. Do not think you can do this yourself. Usually that doesn't work. Big reminder: The school can have an informal meeting and NOT follow through. They can also do a 504 and it is not a legal document. An IEP is a legal document and MUST be followed or you have recourse. Certainly V has significant problems...and the school is trying to say, well, the test didn't show any...but they know he does. It is in the school's interest to do as little as possible. My sister works as an aide in a Special Education classroom and she tells me stories that would curl your toes. Get all you feel your son needs. It will save you fighting them later on. It is easier to take interventions away then to obtain them later on. Good luck, whatever you decide to do :) [/QUOTE]
