[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might depend on the model they use to identify SLD. The discrepancy between FSIQ and reading is there, but the processing weakness in phonological processing is less than one standard deviation below the FSIQ. What district?[/quote]

I am in Virginia, but I'd rather not share the district (it's a smaller district).  I was able to chat with a friend who is a school psych in my district and she thinks I do have enough to push for SLD in reading and written expression.  She noted that some things that will help support it include the discrepancy between math fluency (121) and reading fluency (71), the fact that this is his 2nd year receiving the SAME reading interventions with the same goals despite making "satisfactory" grades, plus the outside tutoring + significant work with him on reading at home/parents reading to him since infancy, ect., history of early intervention + brief SLI, and family history of ADHD+ SLD in reading (I had a speech impairment, ADHD, and recently learned as an adult that I was found eligible under the category of SLD in reading in 1st/2nd grade and received services until 5th grade when I basically closed the gap and tbh should have received a 504 and more support after that, but I never did and struggled hard).  I have multiple family members who also were SLD - reading.

I've got my notes, the reports, and I'm going to be coming into the meeting pushing for SLD -reading and written expression and 504 ADHD.  My main concern is the school psych at his school doesn't partner much with parents or other staff and often presents as kind of cold.  [/quote]
