Here's another theory: OP is not well versed in LD processes or lingobecauseher daughter doesn't actually have a diagnosed LD. From her posts, the only specific she offers is anxiety...which isn't a learning disability! It sounds like her daughter has had a number of issues socially and otherwise That required intervention, but that doesn't necessarily rise to the level of an LD or SN, and might not generate an IEp without a fight. I get that - I have kids in a similar position. But It's classic parental avoidance of responsibility to suddenly decide that her quirky behavior is only relevant when she gets in trouble, and then only to get her out of the required disciplinary process.

Fwiw, OP, I have a kid who's quirky and whose behavior sometimes impinges on his learning, although nowhere near enough to justify an IEP. Among his quirks is a tendency to be very sensory seeking, in other words he has little sense of personal space and is always touching others. He's a third grader so this is not the norm but it's not unheard of either. I know these tendencies, and I've talked to his teacher about them, but when he gets in trouble for his inability to keep his hands to self, I don't spare him the consequences, nor do I insist that the school do so. It's not fun, because I know he's actually trying hard already. But the best protection I can give him now is to help him learn how to succeed within the rules. cAVEAT: I am NOT arguing against accommodations for kids with diagnosed SN or LDs - just explaining that I do sympathize if your child is in a grey zone between a diagnosis and NT.
