[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 231550"] Thank you, Superspy. I sent an email to the Sp Ed (called DEC at this school) teacher about not using one assessment to determine educational placement. I quoted the law and all that. The DEC teacher forwarded a copy of the neuropsychologist report to the DEC Coordinator who called me today. In the meantime, I had gotten the evaluation done by the tutoring company (Wynter is receiving a tutor in math, paid for by the school) that showed the same thing as the neuropsychologist report: Wynter has trouble with multi-step problems. The one step problems she had a score of 100%. The trouble with multi-step, or complex, problems is part of the NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and EFD. So, the DEC Coordinator asked for that report and they are going to do a re-evaluation, just to have something more current on their end. That should happen be finalized (with results and such) within 45 days. This is a charter school - a home-based, online school. So, they contract with various entities for services, i.e., speech, tutoring, psychologists for testing. I get frustrated always fighting for services, but this school is much, much, much better at working with the parents and children than our home district. Our home district's idea of an IEP is one size fits all. My son's girlfriend's sister (ha! confusing, huh?) is the same age as Wynter. She has epilepsy and her IEP was exactly the same as Wynter's. You have to be ready for a knock down, drag out to get the services your child should receive. In the interim, Wynter is going to do one on one lessons with the DEC teacher. I told them I don't want them glossing over material because that isn't helping the issue. She *is* capable of doing it if given enough time to master each step before moving on. She just needs more time is all. Thanks for the help, Superspy. I really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
