[quote=Anonymous]Just my 2 cents but I speak from experience.  Get a private neuropsychologist eval. They will provide good recommendations. Then hire an advocate.

I have heard and seen it all. I fought for years, even when we already had an IEP for speech. School finally agreed to testing in 2nd and surprise! It came back saying our child was fine! CHe couldn't write a single coherent sentence! In 3rd a private eval showed an LD of Written Expression. He also couldn't write anything legible in 2nd after years of OT but they refused to allow technology because they didn't want him to give up on trying to write.

The neuropsychologist and advocate attending our meeting changed the entire dynamic. The IEP team did a complete about face and gave him services and reasonable accommodations including extra time, scribe, pull out instruction, OT, etc.

Too bad they did such a crummy job of providing intervention even with a wonderful IEP. We found school staff were dedicated but untrained to help our son and had too many kids to provide the hours promised.  We did a lot private OT and summer writing programs. Make sure you monitor the delivery of services. We couldn't afford private or I would have pulled DS earlier. We eventually did leave MCPS because his grandparents offered to foot the tuition. We are now headed back to MCPS and I am dreading it. [/quote]
