[quote=Anonymous]Thank you both.  I will ask his counselor for a 504.  They don't require a diagnosis or IEP for a 504? We are moving within MCPS, so hopefully that will help the transition.

My husnad does participate in discussions with teachers and with homework.  He actually seems to get futher with our son than I do.  His issue with testing, is that he doesn't want him labeled, using the diagnosis as a crutch, and he doesn't see any clear disability.  He says it's just a difference in personalities, or that our son is just shy and keeps to himself.  Basically, I'm making more out of this than it needs to (evident by 4th & 5th grade), and that we all just have to buckle down to the new routine.  Which is does help with in many ways.   Frustrating, but at the time his 3rd grade teacher agreed with DH.  Also the fact that he can do the work and he does test well, pointed them to everything's fine - it's a personality issue.

With that said, DS is getting labeled either way.  Only now the label is quirky, different or the word he loathes - unique.

Maybe his counselor in Middle School can point us in another direction.[/quote]
