[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 314078, member: 7948"] I assume that she is struggling to a greater or lesser extent academically. If she is unable to participate in normal classroom activities like work groups or do lab partnerships then I think you definitely have a case to get Special Education assessment regardless of her academic standing. It is NOT automatic that they will do an assessment. You need to write them a letter requesting the assessment and telling briefly why you believe your child has a disability that is making it hard for her at school. Since I don't know a lot of details about her issues at school I can't suggest what you should say. Figuring out whether she is clearly a child with a disability may be kind of complex from what I've read about her situation. You should go to the Special Education forum to discuss that question in detail. Once you write the letter, deliver and send it (see Special Education forum) the school has 60 days to respond. They have two choices: 1) agree to assess her which would take the form of asking for your agreement to let them assess her and giving you a written assessment plan for your approval OR 2) refuse to assess by giving you prior written notice (IEP speak for telling you in writing) why they believe your child is NOT a child with a disability and therefore does not need assessment. For further discussion you should post over in Special Education. You might want to go back and read some of the archives and recent posts because we have addressed these issues at length within the past couple of months over in Special Education forum. [/QUOTE]
