[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 388581, member: 1550"] Don't let them throw you around. You have rights. Write a letter to the principal and the Special Education director, even though you've already talked to the teacher--she isn't really who you have to deal with in this. Also send the same in an e-mail. Sign the letter and say that you want your child tested for an IEP. They have to do it. They have 30 days or so to get it done...not sure, but this is where your Advocate comes in. Call your state Dept. of Public Education and ask for the person in charge of Special Education. After you find out your rights, and have booklets mailed to you, make sure you ask for the name of the FREE parent advocate in your district and have her help you with this every step of the way. Don't talk to the school without her. I make the Special Education Director talk to my advocate, not me, because SHE knows my rights and the laws and I do not. The teacher is being unnecessarily rigid and obviously thinks your child has a character flaw instead of a disability. Your child only has YOU to fight for him (and a father if one is around). Don't make any moves without getting all the help you can first. Tomorrow morning call your state Dept. of Education. They are in the state capital. Don't bother trying to reason with the teachers anymore. Do it the right way and get the testing done. Also, learn your rights. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
