[QUOTE="klmno, post: 388508, member: 3699"] My guess is that if the sd tested her and she didn't sualify for an IEP, it's because the sd only gives minimal tests to begin with that primarily screen for LDs, not "disorders" that still effect a child's ability to learn- my son probably wouldn't have qualified to begin with if we'd gone that route. So my question is- the first time she qualified, did you have any private or additional tests done that the sd didn't give her this time? Second thing- the very fact that she is struggling now but wasn't struggling when she had an IEP in place proves something. Can you appeal the decision that she doesn't need one now? You ca request they give her additional test(s) to cover the areas of "the suspected" disability. I didn't catch before that the test results you weren't allowed to see were from the evaluation, not regular class tests. Anyway, ask to see subtest results if they haven't been provided. I couldn't afford private testing last year for my difficult child's re-evaluation so the sd did them.
