[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. The teacher mentioned getting an EMT together with us to discuss issues. Is that different from an IEP or a precursor to getting one? She has tried various interventions, she's in an after school club to help and we've worked with her at home. She is basically failing math, so something is not clicking for her and she needs help.

Yes EMT is different than IEP, but it's more formal than just talking to the teacher about informal intervention. My understanding that in this meeting they document what are the objectives for the student and what kind of support they will provide. If things don't improve, then it can turn into IEP eligibility meeting. I think it's a good place to start. I agree with other posts that being behind academically doesn't mean disability, your kid might just need more time to catch up or in certain topics, she will not be straight As a student and that is ok. A friend of mine though her daughter had a disability because she was doing poorly with math despite private tutoring, the school did the evaluation and there was no LD and they told her to accept that math is not her daughter strength.
