[quote=Anonymous]My DC is the same as your DS. There’s no support from school since already in advanced program at school, requested meeting but the result was no 504 nor iep, reason was no academic difficulty at school, and anything outside school hours was not the schools responsibility. The school assistant principal was nice offered to give more time for assignments, but without 504 there’s no formal instruction from teachers and DC insisted to continue finish everything daily before bedtime. The homeroom teacher recommended to let school counselors know. Basically we have to constantly remind DC doing things more efficiently, eliminating time ( daily routing also takes a lot of time) used on things other than assignment, so DC can get little bit more sleep. DC has another testing result from pediatrician but not related to this slow processing issue ( we did therapy sessions, but didn’t work snd DC hated it very much, so we stopped after several months). I was trying to get formal testing but decided not to eventually, as school’s firm on no support other than showing academic difficulties, will more time really help since everything will just add up, and not every teacher would accommodate ( thinking about going to HS and college, also work). I mean you can still try to get testing and see if school will offer something useful to help. Most insurance will not cover and you have to pay out of pocket for couple of thousands; there’s testing offered at GMU by students and cost around $2000.[/quote]
