[QUOTE="jal, post: 484875, member: 3477"] The first thing you need to do is send a registered letter to your Director of Pupil Services for your school district requesting that your child be evaluated. A registered letter is a must as this kicks off a federal timeline in which the school must take action, I believe it is 60 days. You, in turn, can have your own private evaluation done, a neuropsychological evaluation is one of the more thorough evaluations for weeding out Learning Disability (LD)'s or other issues. Barring the outcome the school can provide many things for your child, or they can make it difficult by denying an IEP. That is why it is best to get your own evaluations in conjunction with what the school does. IEP's cost money and schools don't like to spend money, especially this day in age. They may offer you a 504, which is for persons with disabilities, but it does not open the door as wide as an IEP does, nor do you have a legal leg to stand on if they do not follow what is written in the 504. The IEP is a legal document and the school MUST follow the IEP. My child was very much like what you describe at that age. Good luck to you. Believe me I know. But I know that it can get better.
