[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 487031"] Welcome to our little corner of the world. So glad you found us but very sorry that you needed to. Insane asked some of the same questions I did but I do have some additional ones. What kind of academic testing did they do? I ask because there could be hidden learning disabilities that, unless they are specifically tested for, can go unnoticed. In our case, difficult child 1 has huge reading comprehension issues that never showed up on standard "IEP" evaluations. It wasn't until I noticed this past year that something wasn't clicking so I asked the reading coordinator to do an in-depth assessment. SHE is the one that found all those issues. What kind of accomodations is she supposed to get? Some that were agreed upon might actually not be helping her. Just a thought. It could also be that she hasn't been getting the help she needs for so long that she feels "stupid" or she has given up trying. Personally, if I couldn't do something and instead of saying I can't I made other excuses or didn't know how to put it into the right words or didn't know why I couldn't do it when everyone else can AND people kept expecting me to do it AND got angry or punished me for not doing it, I might give up too. I'm not saying that's what's going on. Not at all. I'm just trying to throw alternate yet very real possibilities. Like I said, I don't know what is going on but just from what you shared, those are some things that pop into my head. People with more experience than me will come along with other advice. Take what makes sense and leave the rest. [/QUOTE]
