[QUOTE="Masta, post: 353554, member: 308"] i dont expect the school to put my son into a Special Education class, or to give him accommodations. what im looking for is for him to be tested on reading comp/writing, and Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) so we can see if he is eligible for accommodations when he attends University. [B]i emailed the Special Education dept yesterday stating this:[/B] My son took the ACT test and the University Accuplacer test and has received low scores. He struggles with reading comp and some Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) problems. I have met with the Disability Center at the University and they suggested my son get tested for Learning Disability (LD) before school is out. Im wondering if we can get started on this asap. [B]their reply was this: [/B] What we can do is start with some classroom observations. We will probably do some informal assessments, and then if we see anything that warrants it, we can do further testing. I will keep you posted. [B]Question[/B]: Can they do this informal observation without me signing any paperwork? whos to say they will do anything? If i ask for an evaluation can she get away with only doing the "in class observations" or does she have to send home the evaluation form for me to sign to get started on the appropriate testing? the child im asking about is the 2nd oldest. i havent updated my signiture.. he is 17.5yrs old. Suffers from anxiety, hypothyroidism & adrenal issues. [/QUOTE]
