[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all, OP here. Really appreciate the insight, especially the parent who posted above with all of the helpful questions. We received the PWN document today that summarized the meeting. I am just so distraught that they found my DS (3rd grade) ineligible. The principal wasn’t part of the meeting, but the AP was. We provided a 23-page report from the psychologist outlining his dyslexia and ADHD and she described how these challenges are making all aspects of learning so difficult for him. FYI we’re in MCPS.

They said that they would not move forward with an IEP because “his educational data showed that he can access the curriculum” and they do not see that his disability is impacting him in the classroom. He hasn’t even BEEN in the classroom due to distance learning last year. His grades have been fine (which doesn’t say much in K and 1st…) and he is “average” on his MAP tests. But the psychologist conducted a battery of 24 tests that showed he is scoring below his grade level and he has dyslexia and dysgraphia. They also based it on his teacher report from the first 9 days of school (?!?)

We’re at a loss. Not sure if we should appeal, hire a lawyer, work with an advocate… I don’t want to burn bridges because we really like our school but I feel so disheartened. My son is one of those kids who will just fly invisibly under the radar because he is just getting by. We are not in a position to send him to a private school for dyslexia.
