[quote=Anonymous]How many of these previous posts can I put in our experience at a DCPS high school?  DC's eligibility was up for renewal this year.  Kid is GTLD.

School psychologist made point that DC has no cognitive delays, so is only eligible for 504.  Said this in front of our teen who was attending the first ever IEP meeting. She used the discrepancy model - noting DC was testing in the average range and did not need extra instruction, just more time. We had no warning.

Psychologist went on to say that because DC had been tested numerous times - that all the previous evaluators had been wrong and DC has autism. What?!? Kid's been tested by OT, speech language and neuropsych at different times, but not an unreasonable amount.  School psychologist  knows better than some of the top experts in their field - "I've never heard of them."  How about trying Google?  Ever hear of auditory processing disorder, dyslexia and dysgraphia?

School sped caseworker told us in the same meeting that DC was "lazy" and "just like other H.S. kids" because DC wasn't getting the enormous amount of HW - with lots of worksheets - completed.  DC certainly heard that.

Dear child of mine, you are not failing - the school system is failing you![/quote]
