[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 193196, member: 1550"] This teacher was NOT very diplomatic, and I wonder about her ability to deal with parents. But she is also correct, even though it's sort of sad. You do need an IEP for services. You can't get around that. It's the only way to get your child help. We have two kids getting Learning Disability (LD) services right now and they needed to be tested by the school district. Both have done amazingly well since getting those services, by the way. We chose to also get private evaluations to sort of put exclamation marks after the services we wanted. If the school balks about an IEP, call your Dept. of Public Education in your state and ask for the Special Education Advocate. They'll make SURE you get what your child needs. My two kids are both labeled Learning Disability (LD) at this time. The choices, I think, are Other Health Impaired (OHI), Learning Disability (LD), BD (behavior disorder), and CD (cognitive disorder). Many kids now have the OHI label and still get lots of help. You may also want to post in Special Education 101. [/QUOTE]
