[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 403623, member: 1550"] I have no idea what an IST is, but the only supports that are legal documents with backup for you in case they are not followed are IEPs and 504s. Has your kiddo ever been tested for an IEP? You can request that in writing and they have to do it or explain why they won't and if they deny it, you have recourse to file a complaint. That often snaps them out of their refusal. Log all your phone conversations with them. Keep every single e-mail too. Sounds like your child struggles in similar ways to my daughter. They wanted to just do mild unofficial interventions too, but shes continued to struggle and the school was resistant to doing anything about it so we contacted our Free School Advocate (all school districts in all states have them, but school districts never tell you about this service). Things moved after that. She now has a 504, which is enforceable through the Dept. of Civil Rights Education (every state has a different office to contact). If your son can not succeed with the supports he is now being given, I suggest making the district test him. but get an Advocate first. They are DIAMONDS! Without them, sadly, many/most school districts will give you the runaround because t hey don't want to have to pay for testing/IEPs/504s and teachers don't like to do the extra work with accomodations too. Also, like with my kiddo, the teachers didn't believe she had a problem because she isn't hyper so they were very hostile toward her and toward us for even suggesting she had a problem. Instead they tried to pin her with a bad attitude. It was ugly, but in the end we got what we wanted. And it is illegal for any retaliation from the school district. they know this. You can file a grievance for this with the Dept. of Civil Rights (if your kid has a 504 Plan) or the Department of Education (if it's an IEP). In both cases, the district will be investigated.
