[QUOTE="wife of taxman, post: 101023, member: 3830"] I understand. What does RtI stand for? I just had the case conference for my son. He is 11 and was failing 6th grade. I kept telling the teachers that he wasn't using his assignment notebook and they were not listening to me and were not forcing him to use it. He did not have an IEP at that time, so I requested testing and now the sd tells me that he does not qualify under 504. He is not Learning Disability (LD), only ADHD-PI. He is medicated and that helps him focus. I have had him tested independently and his only other problem is "sluggish cognitive tempo". All his testing shows a slower processing speed. It also shows that he is learning the material sufficiently. His major problem is organizational in nature. With me on him constantly, he is getting b's and c's which are "too good" to qualify him for any accommodations under OHI. I had to fight with them to get a 504 written that will carry him over into junior high. I am afraid that the teachers will, once again, not listen to me and his grades will fall apart again at the beginning of next year. The psychologist told me that the system was designed to reevaluate every year, but is that really the best way? Wait until he is failing then offer some assistance. So, they finally wrote a 504 that only includes the teacher checking his assignment notebook. This will expire 11/2008 so at least the teachers next year will be checking it at the beginning of the year. I also wanted extra time on tests, since his processing speed is slow, however, the teachers all say that he doesn't need extra time for tests now and is finishing his tests. He has also, in the past, just barely passed all the state standardized tests, which means he doesn't qualify for any additional help there either. I am afraid that he will be one of the kids that falls through the cracks because he doesn't qualify for anything but still struggles with a lot of things.
