[quote=Anonymous]When you say "about to start middle school" I assume you mean in the fall? I'd let him start and see how 7th grade goes. Some kids modify their habits once in middle school to meet the new challenges so that might be the case for him. It's middle school, the grades are not going on a transcript (algebra can be repeated if he takes that and doesn't do well). We didn't seek an evaluation, and ultimately a 504, for our DC until the middle of 8th grade when high school was looming and things hadn't improved. We were concerned about his lack of focus and organization but also his self-esteem. If I was doing it again with the benefit of hindsight I would have moved on it the summer after 7th grade and then requested the 504 at the beginning of 8th. [/quote]
