[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 403201"] I don't see the school itself refusing the IEP - they suggested it and approached me with the paperwork, had a list of doctors that could do assessments if I could ever get them to take her and do it. I'd be sorely surprised if the school itself fights it. Could well be the SpEd teacher just doesn't think she could handle her on top of the other kids. They've put some supports into place for her already. They do want to keep her mainstreamed because academically she's ahead of the curve, in some cases way above district average. I do wonder if the new rules for how standardized testing and the changing to not allowing % of SpEd kids to auto-exempt from results will influence this in any way, because her scores alone could vastly improve the SpEd average which will drag down every school. Her district has 2 elementary schools, one middle, and one high school. There is one other public elementary school near us (not in district) and listening to parents of kids with ADHD-based IEPs, the school kiddo is presently in is the best for that as well as overall for public schools in our area. I'm eyeballing the alt high school for her, but that's years off (no alternative school until then). The HS she's slated for she already has met one of the gifted language arts teachers for and likes her - she's the sister of one of kiddo's favorite cops. [/QUOTE]
