This yr difficult child started 8th grade Aug 2007. difficult child 7th grade teacher thought difficult child was ready to move into a regular English class. So she performed the WIAT II test on him before the end of the 2006 school yr (4/16/07). Before the end of the school year he was placed in a regular English class on a trial basis. He seemed to do ok. Now he is struggling with his spelling tests. difficult child is also ADHD, has a hard time doing projects that require him to work at home. The school hasnt bothered to get a new health plan in order. They just administer his medications. Last yr difficult child received an F after school was out.

We were not notified about it before the end of the school year, we were just sent out his end of yr school report early June when school was out, so therefore couldnt fix the problem. I went to the school the start of this yr. Spoke to the new Principal, he said he couldnt change difficult childs grade and the teacher wasnt willing to do so either. difficult childs F was due to him having a problem with wearing his PE uniform. difficult child has a sensory problem. . I know my difficult child is still struggling with spelling and writing. His teacher believes he is doing well. The school wants to hold an IEP meeting to get rid of his IEP based on the WIAT II test scores. I am so drained with my 18yr difficult child at the moment; I have no energy to fight with the school over difficult child 2. Can someone advise me of what I should do? Should my son still have an IEP? If so what should I address in the IEP? My main concern is English. The sensory thing is something I will work on with difficult child at home. difficult child is in 8th grade now and he cannot afford be be several grades behind in written expression.

Therefore, this student does not meet the severe discrepancy criteria for specific learning disabilities eligibility. [/QUOTE]
