But you should ask them what sort of evaluations they plan on doing for the triennial review. [/quote]

Not supposed to be, but they often are.  OP, I agree with this PP and ask the school what would be planned for the next review.  You may not get a straight answer, but it can't hurt to ask.  I'm actually surprised that they haven't pressed you to change the DD IEP code.

The public schools in general don't like to identify dyslexia or dysgraphia even though they reluctantly will provide remediation services for these things.  MoCo took years to address our kid's dyslexia.  I know parents who are still in the trenches, slogging it out at every IEP meeting to get and/or keep academic support services and other parents who give up, put their kid in a private school and get tutoring, or end up at Lab or Siena.

If your kid is 8 and has trouble with organizational, writing, and reading tasks, I'd consider doing your own, private educational evaluation if you can swing it financially.  From personal experience, I would not rely on the school being up front with me as to what my kid needs.[/quote]
