I am literally sick to my stomach right now! We have a meeting on Monday to go over the 3 yr re-evaluation results. I requested a copy of the evaluation report today so I would have the weekend to look it over.
If you remember from my other posts - I requested he be evaluated in many areas - they decided he didn't need to be and were only going to evaluate what they decided to. I also sent a copy of our private psychologist's report indicating a new diagnosis of Cognitive Disorder not otherwise specified (visual processing / executive functioning).
So based on how this report appears - they really are going to try to discontinue Special Education and his IEP. She left the discussion and eligibility areas blank and said we would discuss that at the meeting since I am part of the team. YAH WHATEVER!
They did not include any of the data from the new diagnosis - only referenced his existing ADHD and ODD. Made sure to state that the child has problems at home that are not nearly as evident at school. Mentioned he was able to function perfectly fine when he was on medication (which is not true at all) and now that he is not on medication he is a bratty troublemaker who is defiant and aggressive and a bully. Says he is capable of doing all his work but won't because he doesn't feel like it. I am LIVID!!! I actually feel like I am going to vomit.
Ideas? Suggestions? What can I do between now and Monday? I am freaking out! Oh and the psychologist only directly observed him in class ONCE. HELP!!!
