[QUOTE="Shari, post: 356322, member: 1848"] I already canceled the evaluation; right or wrong, I don't know. Maybe it was a bad idea. I don't know. I do know that wee is no different at home than he has been any other time; the difference is at school. And he's done this every year. I would love to have these people come in and then get them back if (when) the problems resurface next year late fall. But that won't happen. It was a stretch to get them to come in this time, since Wee's primary diagnosis isn't Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I'm afraid of 2 things...1 being if they came in now and saw a functional child (and he [I]could[/I] function mainstream as he is right now - he seriously has done more work this week than he does in the course of a normal month and there is NO work refusal, which was the primary problem since he's in the self contained classroom now), I'm going to have one heck of a time convincing them to come back when there are real problems; and 2, the people that do this are grad students. There is no way in hades I'd get the same people this spring AND next fall, IF I did get them to come back, so the only comparisons would be on paper...and you don't get a very good picture of Wee on paper. But that's water under the bridge for now. My screw up. If it is one (and I still think what it probably would have gained us is a group of people recommending putting him back in the mainstream classroom based on what they're seeing now...) But I gotta get the advocate to understand the big picture. The bulk of the people working with Wee WANT to help him; the problem lies in how. ANd if she's gonna operate strictly off paper, I'm not sure its going to help much. She didn't so much as read his file last year, when they were sticking him in the closets...and now, all of a sudden, since he has diagnosed learning disabilities now, he is the most severely impaired kid she's worked with and all he needs is understanding (and last year he wasn't even on her radar).....I truly think all she sees is Learning Disability (LD) and nothing more...and there's more...beleive me, there's more.
