[QUOTE="saman, post: 104118, member: 4377"] Here's my opinion on not notifying the school...don't do that! If you can get the ball rolling for an IEP for her for behavior purposes, get on that right away. That's what we're dealing with right now and for the same reasons. We were honest with the school ONLY for teacher placement, but we didn't want anything 'special' or labeling going in...well, now we're middle of the year and JUST getting the IEP truly rolling. It's takes a LONG time. I always look at it this way...the label stinks, I agree. Not my kid, etc etc. BUT, if the child can benefit from the label and receive services from the get go...they have a better chance. Parker struggles daily with behavior, calls from the principal, emails from the teacher. And I truly believe that once we at least have some pieces of the IEP in place that things will get better. So I kick myself daily for not doing this sooner...we knew. But we wanted him to have a 'do over' so to speak...but it didn't work. We hoped for the best...but the reality is that these kids just have such a hard time focusing and keeping to themselves that if you wait, she could just end up struggling and not liking school because of all the challenges. I guess, I'm living the whole "We don't want him labeled, give him a fresh start" scenario..and it's just not working for us! It takes 6 weeks of interventions even before your first meeting! Then, 30 SCHOOL DAYS (not calendar) that they have to do the testing in...so with the holidays now, we're looking at like end of January before his testing is done...THEN they write and implement the IEP (with me, of course)...so he MIGHT have an IEP at the end of MARCH...2 months left of school. And we started this at the 6 week parent teacher conferences...so only a month and a half into school. Sorry so long...I guess, just think about it! And welcome! [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
