[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 530497"] I completely understand what you're going through. difficult child 1 had a "full" evaluation at school. They found no issues except his refusing to work. Their answer was to pull him out of some mainstream classes and put him in an EBD room instead. That didn't help him AT ALL. I fought for 6 months to get him support and they were kept saying the same things you're hearing. I asked the reading coordinator to do a thorough assessment of his reading skills and she found LOTS of issues but the team just kept saying "but that's not what OUR testing showed". HUH?? After fighting for so long and difficult child 1 ending up being punished all the time for his struggles (that they refused to acknowledge even existed), I watched him get so depressed he shut down completely, even at home. I finally decided THEY weren't going to change their mindset so I pulled him out. I now have a VERY happy child again that doesn't mind learning academics with the RIGHT help. You might need to decide if it's worth it for your son in the long run. If you want to continue fighting, get a good advocate. Ours was awesome and even she said she's never seen anything like what they were doing to difficult child 1 and she's dealt with our school many times. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you both!! [/QUOTE]
