[quote=Anonymous]When you request testing, the first thing that will happen is a meeting to discuss whether it's reasonable to suspect that he has an interfering disability. You need to go to that meeting with specific examples of how whatever disability he has is interfering with his ability to access the curriculum. Document the extra help that you are providing him. Show how many times he needs to retake a test. Document how long it takes him to do his work. ADHD could explain all the problems you list and could qualify him for an IEP. But full testing is always the first step. If they deny you testing, you can request an independent education evaluation, where the school system pays for an outside evaluation (up to a certain amount, which may or may not cover the whole cost). They would have to take you to due process if they want to deny it.[/quote]
