[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 118548, member: 3704"] whentheyweresweet, Welcome, you have come to a wonderful place to get information and guidance! My difficult child is dealing with physical, psychological, and behavioral issues so I know just how complicated this can all be. First of all, take a deep breath... You have an early "heads up" that your son needs some extra assistance, and knowing this early on is a very good thing. If I had it to do over again, I would first arrange the multidisciplinary evaluation . Also, I would find myself an advocate to work with me in relation to my dealings with the SD. When my difficult child was your son's age, I didn't know that advocates existed. You can do a search from Wrightslaw special education and advocacy and find a listing of advocates in your area. The SD is probably never going to suggest that you can do this, but it would be prudent to do so. It may be that your son could use an extra teacher or assistant in the classroom to work with him, this would be a win-win as this extra person would assist both him and his teacher. His teacher probably does not have the knowlege and training to meet both his needs and the needs of the entire class. Good luck in your search. Some early intervention for your sweet little son could make all the difference in the world! [/QUOTE]
