[quote=Anonymous]If his grades are fine and he is not disruptive in the classroom, he may be eligible for an IEP. To be eligible for an IEP, a child must have a disability and must need additional assistance. The school has determined that your child doesn't need assistance. You don't agree. You can appeal.  Ask the school what the appeal process is.

I sort of agree with the school. To me, what you are describing is very mild and doesn't reach the level of needing a classroom paraprofessional.  That doesn't mean he won't need an IEP in the future, but that he is doing fine now.  I'd let it go. Let your kid be as normal as possible for as long as possible.  His grades are fine.   The more he is able to function without support, the more you should encourage that to happen.  With luck and God's grace, my kids with disabilities will grow up to go to college and to employment where they will need to function competitively against kids without disabilities.  The more they can do on their own, the better off they are. [/quote]
