[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this true?  My second grader, recently diagnosed with ADD and auditory processing disorder, is considered at or above grade level.  Speech pathologist said the level of auditory processing disorder shows need for IEP, school disagrees since my kid is at or above grade level.  At least the teacher indicated this to me (I gave the report to her and the school) - haven't had a formal meeting yet.  Report listed 7-8 easy no-cost recommendations for helping my kid; I don't think they're even going to consider at this point.  I know as soon as I say, "I want a meeting" then we have to proceed.

One week in, it's a struggle for my kid.  Having a hard time with noisy classroom (almost 30 kids).  [b]My kid comes home exhausted.  [/b]

Considering private.  Curious to know what public should really be doing, however, until we possibly go private - for our sake, as well as others out there.  Makes no sense.  thanks![/quote]

It's the third day of school. And it was over 90 degrees out. ALL kids are exhausted. My third grader with no processing or learning or attention issues just put herself to bed at 7pm. On Tue and Wed, she fell asleep on the ride home.

Give it another week. Then request the meeting is she is still struggling. [/quote]

It has been a long journey - I've known something was off since he was almost 2.  The testing and the answers I'm finally getting have been long in coming.  This is tears/meltdown kind of struggling.  At grade level now, but I'm betting not long, given the effort last year was.  There's no way you could know all this - !

thanks to all others who posted.  Very helpful info.  Guess we'll be going private; best of luck to everyone else.
