[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 466126"] If he isn't learning and he can learn then they aren't providing FAPE. I've gotten services for difficult child 1 by pointing out that the test the Occupational Therapist (OT) did wasn't what was happening in the classroom. I had the backing of the teacher who provided classwork samples for me. The schools therapist explained that copying off a paper in front of him and writing something from his mind are two different things. As a team we decided to he needed services even though the testing score was high. Getting testing done through the private medical professionals can give the school more information. And might make it easier to get an IEP for your son. It would also make it easier to explain to them what is wrong. Then it isn't "Just the parents" word. I think JJJ's idea is a good one. I'd ask the teachers how much time they feel he should be spending on homework and add that to the note. difficult child worked diligently on homework for X mins. Oh and a standard deviation measures how close to average you are. So if a test score is 85 with average being 100 and a sd of 15 than the test score is 1 sd. If the cut off is 1.5 sd then the test score would have be 77.5 before they would qualify. [/QUOTE]
