[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 419310, member: 7916"] Hi, Don't let the school district tell you your son can't have an IEP because he doesn't have academic issues. This just isn't the case. My son got an IEP in kindergarten based on his disruptive behaviors, even though he had no academic problems. While it is preferable to go into kindergarten with an IEP in place, my guess is that your difficult child's behaviors will be disruptive enough to his class that the school will be calling for an evaluation shortly after he starts school. My son was quirky and sometimes aggressive in preschool and had obvious sensory issues. But, he was incredibly smart and we hoped all would work out in kindergarten. Oh how wrong we were. Everything got worse in kindergarten. Behaviors that his preschool could deal with (like constantly being on the go) were not okay in kindergarten. New rules and more structure magnified all of his issues. Long story short: Our son had an IEP by winter break. He is academically gifted, but his behaviors significantly impeded the learning of those around him and his own ability to learn, so he easily got an IEP. His services included a 1:1 aide, adaptive PE, Occupational Therapist (OT), and social skills therapy. So, not having academic problems should not be reason to deny an IEP. [/QUOTE]
