[QUOTE="Martie, post: 6873, member: 284"] I would consider it an adverse impact because I think internalizers are left alone until they REALLY fail everything. SOME SDs will not accept Cs and Ds as "negative impact." Must be failure across the board...this is not in the law but much of what many SDs do is not in the law. I believe Sheila once pointed out that when we provide extraordinary support at home, we delay negative impact becoming evident thus denying our children needed services. What a catch-22. It is a hard call but I also would be suspicious of grades "improving" if there are no work samples (part of RTI) to support the grades. One obvious way to make "negative impact" go away is to inflate the child's grades. I had an issue with my ex-difficult child and the 6th grade language arts teacher. I wrote THE LETTER requesting full evaluation (after TONS of private interventions) and miraculously, his grades improved. However, I had saved the work samples that she had failed and the real issues were school phobia, anxiety and depression, so he was qualified. However, from this example, you can see what the manipulation of grades of a child who always tests above average can do. Martie [/QUOTE]
