[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 555659"] Oh boy, you've got a fight on your hands. I went through something similar with our SpEd evaluations. They are "screening" tools, that's IT. difficult child 1's said there were no Occupational Therapist (OT) issues. The private Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation we had done (THOROUGH) found so many things with the two biggest ones being his brain isn't processing black words on a white background AND that he writes so hard his hand hurts (the school staff said he was making the pain up) because his brain wasn't registering when the pencil was on the paper until he was pushing way too hard. The school evaluation said there were no reading issues and that "he went out of his way to be incorrect" on the reading testing. When I had one of their own staff (not a part of the assigned testing team) do a THOROUGH reading assessment, she found he was way behind in his reading skills. He is VERY phonetic so he reads phonetically which can make the words useless if he isn't pronouncing them correctly. That also explained why he failed most spelling tests. She also found that he is a concrete thinker and that figurative language and inferring were not someting he understood at all. When that report was presented at an IEP meeting (by that staff person herself), the head of the SpEd dept said "Well, that's not what OUR testing showed". DUH, you didn't check. Anyway, enough of my tangent. You are going to need to don the armour and fight with everything you have. This school has made up their minds and they are going to kick and scream to keep it that way. Get an advocate and fight. I really feel for you AND easy child. It just isn't fair and it hoovers.
