OP - This is a follow-up:

1- If your daughter has a visual impairment, does she then use assistive technology in learning and in testing all the time so that she is familiar with it in an SOL testing situation?

2- Does she have or need access to books on tape to learn and master the language arts skills?  I would think using a scribe for all written tests would be of great assistance to her, but she needs to have practice in learning to take advantage of this accommodation.

3- While she is in the sixth grade classroom, are  you sure the skills she has been working on are at the sixth grade level in math?

4- Similarly,do you know her solid reading comprehension level because you are correct as grade level material increases in quantity and higher skills, she will be left behind?

You need to get a handle on what her skills levels are, what accommodations she has AND WHETHER IT IS THE LACK OF APPROPRIATE TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS OR DEFICITS IN SKILLS KNOWLEDGE THAT IS LEADING TO HER FAILURE.  If it is skills level, then you would have reason to request retention, especially with no summer program.  Is there any way you could afford a tutor to work with her who then could also provide current information to you on how she really is doing in learning.[/quote]
