[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No lying but we were driven to hire counsel when for the three year IEP eligibility evaluation the system changed my child’s basis for eligibility from specific learning disability to autism (despite private diagnoses of dyslexia and dysgraphia) and also claimed my child was at grade level at reading and offered very limited services towards the dyslexia.  In fact, the school personnel would just ignore any of our comments that our child is dyslexic.  It was clear the system had no interest in our child’s true best interests (and really just wanted to support him behaviorally so he would not be a disruptive in class).[/quote]

They tried to push us into an ASD or ADHD diagnosis without an evaluation as they said it was better as they could keep more special education teachers as they had lost some that year due to not having enough IEP's/diagnosis.  I asked what the benefit for my child was in terms of increased services and supports and they said none as child was doing fine academically.   They insisted we used their evaluator and when I asked to meet with the evaluator and have our private therapists talk to the evaluator they said it was not necessary.  We declined the evaluation as our child had been evaluated multiple times with the same diagnosis/recommendations by different people and that isn't a valid evaluation.  And, there was zero evidence of either, especially ADHD.[/quote]
