[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The teacher also told us we could pursue independent testing, but that it is expensive and most of the time, finds the same issues that the school does. I know a little about this from friends, who have paid to have outside evals. I am tempted to do this; DH is not yet on board. For reference, her teacher is a 20-year vet. She's seen a lot of kids and probably been part of many IEPs/504s. [/quote] Just because your child is not doing well in school right now does not mean she has a disability. She could just be slow to catch on at particular skills. Math is something that tends to "click" for some kids like walking and for some it comes later. She could also just not be that great at academic things. I think it can only help to get educational testing done but I wouldn't seek out a diagnosis to blame for her struggles as she is very young and there don't seem to be other red flags.[/quote]
