[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, IME, the only person in MCPS who is going to expend any effort reading your neuropsych is the person who is paid to do so and only because as part of their job, they are obligated to provide a summary of the report and to fill in paperwork regarding their summary during the IEP determination or re-evaluation.

I gave our DS’s neuropsych to his teacher prior to the beginning of the school year with a nice note saying that I encouraged him to read it as he might find it useful.

For months, I received emails about DS’s behavior, sloppy handwriting, not listening to directions, etc.  The final straw was a phone call in which the teacher chided me for writing my DS’s homework, telling me that I was “robbing DS of the chance to work hard and experience the success of improvement from his own hard work.”. I calmly asked if he had ever read the neuropsych report I gave him prior to the start of school, to which he said “no” without an ounce of shame.

The neuropsych clearly stated that my DS is ADHD inattentive with dysgraphia a language disorder and extremely weak social pragmatics but a high IQ and, among the recommended accommodations was parent and teacher scribing of handwritten assignments longer than a couple sentences.

The teacher could have saved himself hours of frustration had he just read the report.  Instead, he got reprimanded by superiors for his unprofessional behavior.

TL;DR - no one outside the psychologist is going to read the neuropsych. [/quote]

That’s so arrogant of you. If you wanted to tell something to the teachers you should have gone through the school counselor and psychologist. At a minimum you should have had a parent teacher meeting and explained and then provided.

You can’t assign busy work to the teachers. [/quote]
