[quote=Anonymous]I have a third grade boy and he is below grade level in math and reading. Last year was his first year in FCPS and his teacher suggested that we might consider having him evaluated for learning disabilities in the next school year. She offered to get the referral process started, but I wanted to wait it out and work with him some more. I just feel like they will not give me the information I want to know about regarding the evaluation processes. I asked questions about how they evaluate students and they just told me they pull them out of class and assess them in certain areas and that there is a psych evaluation. They were so vague about the whole process and I feel like if I knew more about what they do, I might feel more comfortable moving forward with requesting a referral. Until they provide more information, I am not comfortable with doing this.

Does anyone here know what goes on during these evaluations? I'm also curious about the psych evaluation and why they do this. My child's main problem seems to be with paying attention and general boredom with what is being taught or how it's being taught. He does really well in subjects that he is interested in, but he just HATES math! I practice with him at home, but he just can't seem to remember anything that is not interesting enough to him. This is why I'm reluctant to have him pulled from class to be evaluated when I don't even know anything about all of this and they seem unwilling to inform me of it.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
