[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 475938, member: 11847"] Well, well. Special Education director returned my call (yoohoo). Same speech, she completly understands my position but cannot do anything since the evaluation did not reveal any significant dealy and it does not affect his learning. What??? He is on a shorter day because he can't handle a full day. That has to affect his learning, right? She asked who suggested that. The behavioral therapist that follows V (God forbid it would be my idea!). I also explained that the Occupational Therapist (OT) found that all of his senses are affected. That has to affect his learning, right?? She was surprise because the school Occupational Therapist (OT) did not see any red flags. But then, she goes "oh... we do not do too many sensory stuff though" (meaning did not test that area at all!). I also explained that their evaluation did not involve V being in a classroom with 17 other 4 year olds. V was taken out of context. She decided to schedule some observation time and I should call back in 2 weeks to check on those. For some reason, I don't believe anything is going to happen. I tried to explain that kids don't simply overcome sensory processing disorder (SPD). Things only get worst if the right structure is not put in place. I stayed real polite and cooperative. But that is sooo frustrating. I voiced that it did not make any sense to me to wait until V collapse, which by the way he did already and we had to shorten the school day. All she could really tell me is that she has to folow the guidelines and retesting will not happen until March (6 months after the first evaluation). Is there anything else I should be doing?
