[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 568615, member: 1514"] I think things are much different in Canada than they are in the US. Now I got very lucky with Jamie in elementary school because I didnt have to fight for a 504, his teachers just did an informal one without any of us having to sit through it. I did have to go through the entire process though for my oldest because he did have an IEP for learning disabled but academically gifted. The elementary school handled that well but when he hit middle school here the idiot Learning Disability (LD) teacher tried to inform me that label didnt exist...lol. If you were Learning Disability (LD), you couldnt be gifted. Sigh. I could have strangled her. My way of dealing with issues with Special Education issues was to park my rear down at the office of exceptional children. It got so bad they just knew when I walked in the door they would get on the phone and call back to tell the head that I was there again. It did help that we live in a fairly small town and the man had coached one of our ball teams at one time. I would simply refuse to take no for an answer. Your kid needs this and it impacting his school performance. His grades have zero to do with it. Actually I think those tests have more to do with how the schools are graded than how he is graded to be honest. At least if those are the tests I am thinking they are. If they are, I would inform him that I would suggest to your son to do as poorly on the tests as humanly possible to bring the schools grades down. Fire with fire ya know. [/QUOTE]
