[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 129359, member: 23"] Your instincts are correct. Without appropriate intervention your son will fall further and further behind. If he didn't get the correct intervention with an IEP, it's highly unprobable that he will get it with a 504 Plan. It's my understanding that MID is a newer term for mild mental retardation. It's identified by IQ testing. My interpretation of your sd's comments is that difficult child will always be behind so it doesn't matter. Whether they like it or not, he should be provided appropriate services -- even if that means they have to provide 1:1 tutoring. Life for your child may always be difficult, but there's a real difference with-ending the school career with-an equivalent 9th grade education compared to a 3rd grade education. It will make a difference in how he's able to function in the world as an independent adult. There's a thread in the Sp Ed Archives titled something like One of the Biggest Mistakes Parents Make -- it's a very interesting study and a short read. The bottom line is that a private evaluation is strongly recommended to parents. It'll help you determine exactly where your difficult child is and should result in educational recommendations.
