[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 743345, member: 23103"] Stop..you made me cry. That poor little soul. Why didn't that teacher talk to you about this... oh I know why because the state I live in is that way. they want as little early intervention as possible in school because it costs them money. Don't push her but we can pray for her. I am a believer that prayers are heard. But she will be amazed at how much stronger she finds herself when she has something to believe in. Don't sweat that. My oldest has sever spastic quadriplegia and they fought me tooth and nail about services and you can physically see his disabilities. You love and loved her that is important. We can't know what services to fight for when we are not told what services are available. Now a days they parents can find out about services through the internet 20 years ago that was no the case. 20 years ago the services were hidden by the establishment. You can't go by todays knowledge base, it didn't exist then. You may need to seek an attorney to go after the school records and the SSI system. Or perhaps if you can get her to come around and get her into a program now for a diagnosis along with past records you may be able to get her services. I firmly believe in that. Where I grew-up and lived until my early 40's we belonged to a church and had a church family. When we relocated (close to 20 years ago) I was never able to find us a church that we felt good about I tried our denomination (Methodist) as well as others and just never felt the connection, Here they felt more about money than love and acceptance.
