[QUOTE="SRL, post: 258041, member: 701"] Because of how your difficult child presents, it's probably not going to be a productive IEP meeting if you focus on diagnosis. [I]Focus on services based on results of the testing[/I]. I'm also all for borrowing from whatever camps that might be helpful so for instance even if he doesn't have an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis, social skills sessions geared towards Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids might be helpful. I agree witih JJJ on the services, but I would also push for outside consultation if they are all sitting around talking about him like they've never seen a kid like him before. If they don't know what to do to make sure that he is successful in some educational environment then it's *their* job to make it happen whether that means bringing someone in to consult, train staff, or send him out to another school setting. When nothing else was working my district forked out big bucks to bring in a consultant at their suggestion and it was helpful. That's their job. Were you ever able to talk the doctor into doing Fragile X testing? This--or something similar--could potentially explain Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) like traits but not a clear presentation.
