[QUOTE="buddy, post: 561349, member: 12886"] I think he has been assessed and didn't qualify and sadly the way it works is that only those kids who have huge delays, set by mandated criteria or who meet criteria through other means like mental health or behavior challenges qualify for Special Education.services. The work till that point has to come from general ed. interventions and that is where many use a 504 plan to start hoping people will be consistent and use accommodations that allow him access and success in the class. I wish it was different. At.this point if they didnt find a way to override Criteria or a way to test him into some form of sp ed. (Sometimes kids can qualify under a sp.lang IEP if the clinician is creative and can use legal tests that you know will hit the childs weak spots and then at least they can get someone from sp ed to help support the student and how they do in class, but at V's age he has to pass very few items on most tests to be considered to not have a problem. Kids like V without a mom like he has fall.thru the cracks until there is a huge gap as he gets older or when things come to a head behaviorally. It's so frustrating on both sides sometimes. (Assuming they are really doing their jobs and assessing the problem areas .) Programs are audited and if you wrongly qualify a child the district is fined and funds can be taken away, and it will trickle down to the person who let it happen. I wish there was a better way....
