[quote=Anonymous]My child's DC Public Charter School has deemed my child ineligible for an IEP because she is not "2 standard deviations below the norm." But they will not tell me what norm they are referring to, or how it is measured. My child is in Pk4 and scores average to below average on her special ed evals and and low on standardized testing, and has three diagnoses (ADHD, GAD, pragmatic communication disorder). The school's evaluators recommend services but their recommendations are overridden by the principal and Sped coordinator. I have already filed a complaint with the OSSE and we are heading to mediation. I could not find mention of standard deviations on wrightlaws' explanations of eligibility.

Relatedly, her classroom teacher tells me at every parent-teacher conference about how my daughter's behaviors are preventing her from accessing the curriculum, but the teacher then lies about this in the SST meetings.

Advice on either one of these topics would be most welcome![/quote]
