[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kindergarten grandson went to special resource preschool for the past two years because of speech and social delay. He is on target academically, but still hard to understand at times, has trouble with eye contact, fidgeting, attending to verbal instructions.  
 My daughter recently met with the IEP team which said he had tested out, which made her feel really good. Then they went on about thinking he needs private testing and special help, but since the IEP has been cancelled they aren't offering any support. She ended up in tears. She has called a psychiatrist but can't get seen until late November. 
This sounds like a funding issue to me. We live in a VERY conservative area where there's a lot of pressure to lower special ed funding. The teacher is organized but seems cold and makes extremely heavy use of worksheets and is a big proponent of "talented and gifted" programs. The resource person at the school mocked my daughter for crying and questioned why she would be upset. "It could be a lot worse," was her comment.

Where does she live? She needs to get an advocate to advise her through this process. We can try to provide referrals to organizations that help families in each state.
