[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have concerns regarding inattentiveness, memory issues, handwriting issues, reading/letter recognition skills, according to preschool teacher for our 5 year old who will be entering K in the fall.  We have a private neuropsych scheduled but not until November.  I've gotten the paperwork to start the process with MCPS.  Any tips, things I should know, etc would be much appreciated.  This is for a school that feeds into Pyle/Whitman.   [/quote]

OP, it's entirely unclear what you want: 504 plan? IEP? EMT meeting and "intervention" from the teacher.  What "paperwork" and what "process" have you started with MCPS.

We can provide better tips if you are more clear about what your endgame is. [/quote]

I would like an IEP for K and to ensure that he'll get any available and appropriate support for these challenges which I'm guessing may include OT and pull outs for reading.  I suppose other accommodations too.  I'm not familiar with the process.  We were too late for Child Find so need to complete paperwork to request and evaluation by the school. It is called Private/Parochial School Student Referral for Special Education Services.  [/quote]

I just don't see how you think you'll get pullouts for reading. At least half the class won't even be reading at all yet! Give it a few months in K to see what happpens and do private OT in the meantime.

Can she draw or write her name now? Sit during circle time?

Don't forget you have a whole 6 months before K even starts.

Good point about the reading.  She had write her name though R backwards and writes from the bottom up. She is fine sitting during circle time but just is not retaining information and sometimes refuses to do tasks that are difficult for her.[/quote]
