[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 84860, member: 3493"] My son's IQ is over 130 and he is still spelling exempted on his IEP because he just can't spell. He has a disorder of written expression and school anxiety. I think you should ask for him to be spelling exempted and perhaps to have access to a keyboard or alpha smart (although a/s does not have spell check I think) Instead of pushing your son out of sped, they should be accommodating him better. His spelling is in the 19th percentile - that should tell them it is an issue for him! It does no harm to anyone to spelling exempt him and it might be helpful for him. My son has anxiety over school issues and removing the issue of "spelling counts" for inschool work and tests helped reduce his writing refusals overall. Because he doesn't like to be singled out, he took the spelling tests, they just weren't counted against him. My son's spelling percentile was around the range of your son's the last time they tested him as well. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
