[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have your own diagnoses of these issues?  I ask because I tried to get APS to recognize similar issues in my child and because child was not acting out in school, they did not test.  They met with us and provided "accommodations" to keep us at bay, but they didn't do anything to actually solve and/or treat the problem.

So what I'm saying is, if you have your own diagnoses or can afford to get them on your own, do that and then bring them in as a done deal, rather than wait for APS to act on its own.  Remember that your interests and APS's interests are not the same.  They want a calm, quiet classroom without interruptions and, as a bonus, your child's success without costly interventions on their part.  You want your child to be happy and well-educated and not hurt by the school experience.  Do not trust that APS has your child's best interests in mind -- remember that it's your job to look out for your child and do not fall into the trap that the school district is basically on your side.  (Learn from my mistakes.)[/quote]

I agree with this. Our APS counselor told us that they would not do anything for our son unless we went out and did testing on our own. In other words, if you don't have money to hire a professional to evaluate your child, you are in trouble.[/quote]
