[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 533133, member: 1233"] It is time to present the school, via certfied return receipt mail, with a letter requesting the testing for APDs, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, VPDs, and any other disorders you can think of. they CANNOT refuse to test for these if you ask for them. PERIOD. We have a vision therapies at our district because a parent (who I know and helped write the letters) wrote the letter and asked/insisted. they tried the 'we can't' and were told it is part of child find that they MUST identify learning disorders and these are learning disorders, so if they don't have a person then they can PAY for the tests at the Children's Hospital. I think it is entirely possible that either dysgraphia or dyscalculia is causing the problems with showing work. svenghandi would problem be found to have dyscalculia at the very least. Once they find he has the problem, they MUST accommodate it and help with it. even on state exams. Wiz had a HUGE problem writing out the work. Esp with 50+ problems per assignment given by one math teacher. I could never read my work. So I made the 'work' that I had to show EXTRA messy and wrote the answer I knew was right for the answer - even if it didn't make sense with the 'work' I showed. game playing, of course. but if I couldn't read it, then I KNEW my teachers couldn't.
