[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having an IEP does NOT mea a lower education track. Many children with IEP's are extremely gifted.

[b]An IEP, when done well, is a wonderful thing.[/b] Instead of a "bad" child who may annoy other children and teachers, you have a solid plan that will benefit your child and everyone who works with your child.

We have a wonderful iEP team for our K child.[/quote]

I agree with the pp.  Our K child has had an IEP since preK and there has been no stigmas or negatives from having an IEP.  We recently had our parent teacher conference and both DH and I left with huge grins on our faces.  Very pleased with how school is going for our DC and a huge difference from how it was prior to the IEP.

An IEP is tailored to your child.  The evaluation will most likely include an WIPPSI - an IQ test - so that the school knows what to expect from your son academically.  If your DS qualifies for an IEP, he will get help and supports in those areas that have an educational impact which means your child will have a much happier experience at school.  GL!  Our DC's IEP has made school wonderful for our kindergartener and we could not be more pleased.[/quote]
