[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 380329, member: 3493"] My son has an IEP for ED and has since grade 3; he had one for speech and language prior to that. I "found" an Learning Disability (LD) for him called "Disorder of Written Expression" which is an actual bona fide DSM IV diagnosis. In difficult child's case, his anxiety and ODD made it tough for him to relax enough to put anything on paper. I had that added during a horrific 6th grade year. He has no other Learning Disability (LD)'s and has an IQ that is (at low estimate) 137. He's in 11th grade now, still classified, and is taking Honors math, science and law plus 2 AP classes. His grades are not great so I keep him classified because it lets me keep him in the high level classes he wants to be in; he would do great if he did HW. He does well on standardized tests (SAT cold in grade 9 was almost 1300, 5 on AP test, 700's on SAT 2's). I know that SD's don't like to give IEPs for kids who are not failing, but my argument is that that is relative. If a child with an IQ of 137 is getting C's, ask why. I would pursue it if I was you.
