[quote=Anonymous]I have a child with a language/communication disorder so severe that on English Language Proficiency assessments, he scores as Limited English Proficient.  This, despite not knowing any other language.  He's not proficient in ANY language and he's been in an FCPS school for over 6 years with an IEP and private/school ST.  At one of our meetings, a school team member indicated that, in his opinion, my DS's language challenges were an issue.  His attentional issues were the problem.  I was like WTF?!  How do you expect him to pay attention when he doesn't know WTF people are saying!?

Note:  If you indicate any language other than English is spoken in the home, the school is required to test the child for English language proficiency.  We indicated another language was spoken in our home because my foreign born MIL was living with us.  She's fluent in English but would speak her native language with DH, her friends and other family members.  All my kids were exposed to it but we only spoke to DS in English and our kids (he's the youngest) only speak English to each other.  I don't speak the language.[/quote]
