The reality is that your requests are extremely time consuming and take an extensive amount of time from multiple professionals, and requires multiple (overbooked) professionals to find more time to meet and collaborate. Your team may be doing things behind the scenes for your request, but it’s not completed yet. The reality is that it’s not the school teams fault that schools are not more adequately staffed for higher parent expectations.

School teams consider private assessments. However, many many many private assessments are 1) terrible 2) do not reflect how children perform at school since the assessments are not done in a school and do not collaborate with teachers or school staff 3) are completed by professionals who do not know special education laws or processes and 4) not thorough or relevant for what the school needs.  Basically, thank you parents for getting private assessments to help the school team and your child…but the school teams typically still need to conduct their own school assessments to assess educational needs and for educational planning. Private practice providers are not on the educational team and really lack relevant knowledge. [/quote]

Op here. You’re missing the whole point though-the school is simultaneously rejecting my outside assessments while saying that the reason they haven’t started their own assessment is because they were waiting for me to provide updated outside assessments. This is what’s so crazy making. If the school wants to reject my outside assessments, that’s fine, but then they need to initiate their own. Instead they’ve done nothing for the last 2 months.

I get that these professionals don’t have the resources but what am i supposed to do? If I don’t advocate for my son then he’s just going to keep struggling.

I’m thinking to just give up and do private or homeschool or virtual school just because I’m so worn down and he’s only in kindergarten at this point.[/quote]
