[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 388507, member: 1550"] Thanks to everyone. In her discharge IEP (which we didn't realize was a discharge IEP) the school had not tested her at all, but decided she didn't need Special Education anymore because she "rarely used services" (um, not true...she used notes for tests). I do have to say, easy child has made enourmous progress from a kid to couldn't read at eight to one who is actually passing most of her classes without an IEP right now. However, "barely" is the word for science and world history and the reason is because of her reading LDs and processing problems. It will be harder for her to qualify this time because she has learned to compensate in some areas and schools HATE to give kids IEPs. If she does not qualify per t heir testing, I already have private, intensive neuropsychologist testing set up and WILL request an IEE. I live with her, they don't. She's a good kid, but she can barely read a magazine (takes her forever), gets very confused when told to do more than one thing, forgets everything, can't organize and really does have a terrible memory. We'll see. The first semester is always easier than the rest of the year in school. Hub and I are really worried and both of us are so sad when daughter cries and says, "I'm retarded." School is very difficult fof her for many invisible disabilities...the hardest to get the schools to act on! [/QUOTE]
