[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 578347, member: 11847"] The situation is delicate because you are not the mother. You can only suggest, but at the end the parents will listen or not. Asking for a full evaluation cannot hurt. The parents couls also request a meeting an talk with the teacher first, and discuss what the reason is behind the decision to hold her back. The teacher could have some valid points or not. If the behavior is at the root of most problems, I would highy suggest get a private evaluation to understand what is driving the behavior. I think a school is always going to be eager to help child with- challenges and no behavior issues. on the other hand, a child that is hard to manage because of behavior will be more stigmatised. But we all know on this board: behavior is a way to communicate for children. The adults around the child have to be super motivated in order to understand the reasons behind the behavior. As the grand-mother, you can only do so much. Would her parents be ok with you attending the school meeting? They are allowed to have anyone with knowledge on the child. During a meeting I know would be difficult, I had V's Occupational Therapist (OT) come with me. I always help to have some support. Someone who can redirect the conversation in the right direction if need be. So, maybe, first thing: ask the parent how involve you can be in helping them in the process. Than you will have to respect the level of involvment they choose... [/QUOTE]
