[quote=Anonymous]During your meeting with the staff, I would suggest you request they evaluate him as well. I just posted on the thread 'when to seek an evaluation'. If your DS does have a condition that is impacting his performance at school, he will need accomodations or services of some kind. His grades are irrelevant - so don't think that just because he's at or above grade level he doesn't need anything or they dont' have to do anything. The reason you want to go through the formal process is that, once your DS qualifies, what he needs will be written into an IEP/504 which the school is required to follow. The IEP is stronger legally but the 504 is enforceable and will help save you from the random teacher/sub that thinks your DS is just being willful. Here's a link to the MCPS section on it http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/specialed/parents/ Good luck to you. It sounds like you're doing a good job![/quote]
