[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 390107"] You definitely need to ask for a full evaluation. There is obviously some reason he is not learning to read well. If you request it, they cannot deny to do the testing. If you disagree with the test results they provide to you, you have the right to ask for an independent evaluation at school expense. Do not let them tell you they can't continue with the services your difficult child had last year. That is absurd. I would also call the Department of Education in your state and ask for an advocate. It sounds like your SD just doesn't want to provide services. I am having similar issues with my 12 year old right now. An IEP is similar to a 504. You might want to post this question in the Special Education 101 forum here. They will have answers for you there. Good luck and don't give up. If we don't fight for our difficult children, no one else is going to. [/QUOTE]
