[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 631356, member: 805"] Welcome Srgsng25. One thing you said in your reply above struck me. For so many years I advocated for my son. I clearly remember when he was in 7th grade I got a call from the assistant principal of his middle school. It was state wide testing time and difficult child had written in his IEP that he could have small group testing. But, difficult child wanted to test with the rest of this classmates and not be pulled out. He went to the assistant principal about it. When she told him that it was in his IEP he told her, "call my mom, she can verbally tell you it's ok!". The assistant principal said, "It's great to see him begin to advocate for himself!" My son just graduated from high school this June. We were fortunate to have the majority of his teachers (there were a couple lemons!) and all his administrators really get the concept of "evening the playing field" and understanding the to do that you need a truly INDIVIDUALIZED IEP, not just one with route accommodations like, "preferential seating or repeat directions". Glad to hear you have found good healthcare now and a great advocate. Early intervention at school and home is the best! When you get a minute, take some time to do a signature. Sharon [/QUOTE]
