[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’d really focus on getting a private neuropsych.[b] If you have a 504 he was tested at school.[/b] You should have the results. I can access that sort of thing online. Another thought is that I’d get a reading assessment. If his scores are as you say, I’m surprised he isn’t being offered Read 180. [/quote]

Many kids in MCPS are given 504 plans without any testing conducted by the school.  Many students with medical disabilities present only information from their treating physician and get no further "assessment" by MCPS.  In fact, MCPS often tells parents that they are not legally obligated to assess a student asking for a 504 plan (not quite an accurate statement of the law).  Many other students do have assessments done for 504 plans -- often when MCPS turns them down for an IEP and offers a 504 plan in order to try to convince the parens that MCPS is doing what it can.  Sometimes the school has done the assessment.  Sometimes the parent provides a private assessment. [/quote]
