[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The testing we did was a combo of private neuropsych that we provided to FCPS and their own internal testing. The speech testing was done by the school and it was very brief. All testers and even teachers have noted that her lack of speech fluency and slow processing does create anxiety for her. And she will occasionally stutter when trying to get the words out. I do exactly the same thing, but was able to "train" myself as a young adult to consciously slow down my speech patterns. I will think about specific speech testing. Who would do that type of testing? Any SLP or is there a specific type of tester? What do I even ask for?

I feel like I need to clarify that the relationship with the school in our case is not at all adversarial. I could not be happier with the school or their responsiveness to my DC's needs. They are the ones who actually suggested an IEP to us. Academically DC does very well, but there are definite classroom issues. She often has to leave the room or the counselor or school psychologist has to be called. We've had a 504 in place since third grade and would never have considered an IEP was feasible but they really are the ones who pushed for it. The school is also an ED center, so I do wonder if part of the reason they suggest the ED classification is because they have more resources to support that.

I really am just trying to understand if there are specific advantages or disadvantages to DC having an IEP under the OHI vs. the ED classification.
