[quote=Anonymous]You keep saying "push into special education" as if it is a cage in the zoo. Special education is a continuum of service and supports, not a place. Your child's teachers will be able to access those services and supports, like consulting with an occupational therapist who can suggest exercise or seating adaptations, and a speech therapist, who can address auditory processing issues or choosing communication strategiess for your child and the class. By refusing to allow assessments, you are handcuffing the teacher to her/his desk. You are short changing your child by stunting their development (you get more done at a younger age) and putting the staff in a really hard position. They often off "push in" services, where a 2nd staff member is another pair of eyes & ears & hands, or offer counseling during the school day. You child may be put in a co-taught class, or given a quite place to self-regulate (besides the principal's office). Please reconsider. [/quote]
