[quote=Anonymous]Have you formally requested a meeting with the school to assess whether testing through the school is appropriate? How is your child's writing?

I requested a meeting to assess whether IEP is appropriate (the school is legally required to have a meeting within 30 days of the request to determine whether there is enough evidence to warrant testing).

I brought to the meeting samples of my child's writing. The samples included often illegible handwriting, inability to stay on the line, writing characters of various sizes, some backwards, one sample where he misspelled his own name 3 times! - in different ways!, etc. The school went from, "Nothing to see here" to "let's test to be sure." This school also doesn't dx dyslexia, but the testing showed issues "commonly found with" or "consistent with" dyslexia, or something like that. We also did private testing, but the school testing was critical for school interventions and accommodations. Turns out he he also has dysgraphia and dyscalculia.
