[QUOTE="helpmehelphim, post: 5406, member: 2650"] Hi everyone. If Chris went ahead and hired someone to help her son "bone up" on EF type issues due to the fact that she didn't agree with the SD and wasn't prepared to go down that road of him failing, couldn't she then get reimbursed for that? I agree so much with Martie about the child getting frustrated and experiencing failure and then how much harder it is to keep going. My son is like you described Martie in that his IQ is high, he has been in gifted classes (so he had an IEP in place for that) but started hitting a wall due to EF issues and boredom. And it seemed everything was a fight last year because there was no way he scored close enough to failing to get accomodations. It's a catch 22. I don't understand though why if there's a neuropsychologist evaluation that specificies EF issues why wouldn't they write up an IEP for such things as printing vs. cursive or extra time on tests? The problem though that I found with our school last year was even when I fought for a certain accomodation say speech therapy for social skills/cues, the quality of help and the extent or time given to helping was low. And the school psychologist told me that I should really get outside help for Occupational Therapist (OT) (in considering SI issues) because a 15 minutes once a week wasn't very effective and the again the quality was low. Great.... We did get outside help but not everyone can do that and I recognize that. Just some thoughts. [/QUOTE]
