[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your school's clinical psychologist and/or social worker and or schoo psychologist is there to support your child's emotional and/or cognitive needs. Plenty of 3 year olds without cognitive issues have emotional issues that interfere with their ability to learn. In that case, they wouldn't need an IEP - and working with a mental health professional at the school or on the outside would likely help your child succeed. That's not labeling, that's helping remove barriers to learning. [/quote]

Well, they have basically rigged this entire process to justify putting an IEP in place.  I was also appalled at the meeting we had to discuss the evaluations and whether he qualified for services when this charlatan of a psychologist basically came up with some reason out of thin air to justify it.  I am all about "removing barriers to learning."  What I am NOT about is using developmentally inappropriate tests to label my child as "below average" cognitive ability, when that is just completely asinine horseshit and everyone including his teacher knows it.
