[QUOTE="Martie, post: 75201, member: 284"] This is ridiculous...For years, people said Special Education was ONLY for kids with low IQs and now, it is a disqualifier???? I don't think so... Actually, what they are doing is using what is called a "discrepancy formula" which basically means his academic achievement is not discrepant from his IQ. Fortunately, IDEA 2004 eliminated the use of discrepancy formulae. however, a SD that does not know what an 504 plan is will not likely be well-versed in legal changes that are somewhat obscure. You may ask for an IEP meeting at any time....I would focus on "the two qualifiers for an IEP: Disabling condition Negative educational impact It would seem your son has both and therefore, needs Special Education services to make adequate progress in the gen ed curriculum Martie [/QUOTE]
