[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 51947, member: 3820"] I was wondering how your 504 meeting went? Did your son get a 504? Now, I'm not trying to be the devil's advocate, but just because he scored low on a VMI test does not mean automatic services are required by law. There has to be documentation of adverse impact in his educational environments which requires specialized instruction before an IEP can be written. As a first grader (at 7 I'm making that assumption) it can be very difficult to document adverse impact academically since students that age have minimal school experience. The way students qualify for Learning Disability (LD) is a significant (statistically speaking) discrepancy between what they should be able to do (their IQ) and what they can produce or perform (academic tests or grades). And the academic tests available for K and 1st graders are notorious for being statistically screwy because of the students' short length of time in an academic environment. If he tested that low, it sounds as though he should be showing that he's struggling as a result... Babbs [/QUOTE]
