[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child should be evaluated by OSSE's Early Stages, not in-house. Charter kids are eligible, it's free, and theydo a great evaluation. It really sounds like your charter's in-school evaluators are incompetent.[/quote]

Well, at this point, I wouldn't trust OSSE's resources either.  We plan to move out of DC (and the entire DMV area, thank God) before DS starts kindergarten, and it cannot happen fast enough for me.  I am on the wait list for a development ped at Children's, and other than that I am not approving ANY more evaluations by anyone at this point.  My kid has been subjected to enough already, and I don't want to hear any more negative bullshit about him from anyone.  I've heard very little about the many, many positives about my son, and I'm tired of it.  No wonder he acts out.  3yos are not perfect all the time, don't always listen, don't always follow the rules, etc etc.  My kid is a kid, not an automaton.  I am reacting at this point not only to these particular evaluators but to our entire educational culture of testing, standards, evaluations.  I am finding it utterly and wholly inappropriate.
