[QUOTE="Want2Learn, post: 126549, member: 4647"] Last week, I sent a letter requesting that my daughter be evaluated for Special Education. services and today the school sent a "Permission for Testing" form home. On the form the Test Names listed are: K-BIT2, K-TEA2, and Speech and Language Screening. I'm confused because when I googled these tests, they don't seem to address her problem of declining grades and behavior problems due to the ADHD and anxiety. Is this also where the Functional Behavior Assessment should be listed? If so, should I go ahead and add it before signing it? I also spoke to the Special Education teacher who handles all the parent requests today and she brought up the fact that my daughter failed her vision exam and her grades are ok and that this [I]may[/I] cause her to be denied special services. I explained to her that I am planning to take her to the eye dr. for glasses and that her grades are [I]declining[/I] and behavior is a big issue. It seems like they are already trying to discourage me or perhaps they have their minds made up before they even evaluate. Anyway, I'm rambling a bit, but my main question is...are there any other tests that I should request? I told her I'd have the form turned in tomorrow. Also, if she "does well" on these tests can they still determine that she does not need special services even though she has a diagnosis of ADHD and anxiety along with declining grades and numerous behavior problems? Thanks in advance, Jen [/QUOTE]
