[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your child? Aside from needing extra time, what signs of disability are you seeing? Kids of all IQs can have disabilities, so I don't understand what they mean by his IQ was too high to qualify. But at the same time, accommodations are only available for students with disabilities and you haven't given us enough information to evaluate (other than an autism diagnosis, which absolutely counts if you think it's correct).[/quote]

Child will be going to MS next year. They didn't say IQ is high, they implied that DC's scoring in tests is what is expected of DC's IQ which is in 30+ percentile. What I got from the meeting was my kid has an average IQ and meets the benchmark so does not qualify for learning disability.

What I see at home - takes twice the time as sibling for similar tasks, generally low processing speed, needs repetitive instructions, needs very detailed specific instructions.

Although we had a diagnosis from Childrens when DC was 2 we did not want that to be on any records thinking it will impact DC and that doc gave the diagnosis in second visit. We also didn't believe DC has autism. Later our pediatrician also didn't think it was autism. We never mentioned that to I&T so it was never on mcps school records.[/quote]
