[quote=Anonymous]My DS is in 4th as well w/an IEP. At the suggestion of his Dev. Ped., I changed my mindset from "catching up" to "steadily progressing". As long as my DS is steadily progressing, we will keep the current supports in place, but I don't expect him to learn faster than other children so that he can catch up. It's looking at both the external and internal benchmarks. You can be aware that they are behind, but also celebrate improvement from where they were. I second the idea of additional testing. Schools only assess impacts in the education setting, a Dev. Ped. will look at the whole child and help with ideas for support or justifications for more at school.[/quote]
