IEP testing isn't completed and they're already saying he probably won't qualify.

[QUOTE="a_demann, post: 530849, member: 12747"] Having a diagnosis alone doesn't qualify someone for a 504 or IEP. The children are evaluated in several areas, language/speech, academic, and social. The results are given on a rating scale and they must fall below a certain number for them to qualify legally. It's all based on test scores. Here in MN I believe it's under 70 (which is the average). The only difference I see between the 504 and IEP is that with the IEP the children actually will receive services not just accomadations. Both do need to be closely watched by the parent to make sure the teacher is following either plan but from what I understand teachers/school staff must adhere to the guidelines of both plans legally. Your child can still receive some help without having a 504 or an IEP; two of my kids have received extra help in the form of "friendship club" and other groups that meet during the school day to help children make friends/socialize appropriately. So depending what your child is struggling with I would look into some of the other "clubs/groups" the school offers. [/QUOTE]
