[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 459406"] That is EXACTLY the mentality I am dealing with with our second school now. Because my difficult child can't put into words what it is that makes the work difficult for him, he doesn't try. He just "escapes" by finding a hiding place and avoiding the work. SD interpretation: "He does well when he WANTS to" or "He just doesn't follow directives". I have told school staff repeatedly to try to work WITH difficult child to find out WHY. When I do it at home, we work together to find the words and eventually get it out. When I tell the SD what difficult child has said their response is "he doesn't ever tell US that". I totally understand your frustration. don't let them off the hook and definitely get independent evaluations. School's Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation showed no problems. We are having an thorough independent one done now and SO FAR they have found visual processing delays, holds his pencil too tight, uses too much pressure when writing, oral sensory seeking, needs to fidget to help concentrate. And we aren't even done yet. [/QUOTE]
