[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 487187, member: 59"] What a shame, I can understand your anger and frustration. My easy child is a kindergarten teacher and I have seen what happens second hand through her and it's frustrating on all levels. easy child has a student that clearly has some disabilities. The parents know it, my easy child knows it, and now the principal and school knows it. It didn't take long for easy child to suspect autism (I know rash judgement, but the signs were very clear). But it took until now, five months after school started, for the evaluations to be completed and for the school to identify him as having autism by the school standards. The problem is the doctor the family took him to still says it's not and they have diagnosed him as having anxiety, without asking for any school input. In the mean time this poor boy is not getting anything out of class and he is being disruptive to others. Five months have been wasted when he could have gotten help much sooner. Thankfully the school is pursuing an aide for him. We have to do a better job at identifying the children who need special services and making those available sooner. I'm so sorry you are going through this again. Nancy [/QUOTE]
