[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You write a letter to the principal requesting an IEP meeting to start the process due to a suspected learning disability. If the letter is in writing, they are required to hold a meeting.

They will call a meeting quite quickly (I think they have 30 days). At the meeting prepare to show them your data- old report cards, writing samples, math samples, emails from last year' teacher about not being able to start without her, etc... This will be your time to make your case and teams can be challenging so do not call the meeting until you've had time to do your homework!

At the meeting, you will come to a team decision (with the school's opinion weighing stronger than yours whether you like it or not) as to whether there is enough evidence that there is a potential learning disability to move forward.

If you move forward, you will discuss what type of testing the school team will complete. This is done completely free of charge.

After any testing, you will come back together to determine if the testing showed a disability and how to move forward with support.

All this said, it is a lot quicker and easier to get support with private testing, so consider the best way forward.[/quote]

Do both of these.  Request and iep and get private testing at the same time.  [/quote]
