[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids with autism adhd and anxiety. None of them have been spat at. If it happens again file a bullying report immediately.  Keep very careful records of your child's work and the notes home and each incident re getting lost,  etc. You may be lobbying for an iep. In fact, I would suggest you try to get one that specifically puts the onus of keeping your child safe - first place in the bathroom line. Etc.

As an aside. Child find missed my child's autism. I would get on a list for an evaluation at children's national.  It may take 18 months to 2 years but will save you $5,000. You will pay a few hundred extra for educational testing but the rest is covered by insurance.

Best case scenario. Nothing is found, but at least you didn't wait until it is too late. Do not let the school test your child. It is in their best interest to find nothing wrong and then you have 2 conflicting reports at any future iep meeting.

Lastly, if the bullying report goes no where,  please instruct your child to defend themselves. Children who get reputations as "the easy target" in elementary carry that through high school. You first ask the adult for help, then file the report and step 3 is lay the kid out.

We paid Out of pocket for a psycho Ed last year and I specifically asked about ASD and OCD since I have cousins on both sides with these diagnosis. She was not identified for either.

I am Leary of the bullying form because the form gets filed in Synergy with the victim and [b]stays with the victim’s Synergy file forever[/b]. No documents follow the bully. Also, she doesn’t know the names of the boys that have been spitting on her because they aren’t in her class. She just knows there are in her grade because they have recess at the same time.

And this does not matter in the least, OP. During the course of her school career, even the people who should be reading your daughter's file won't have the time, and you'll need to remind them. The IEP will be on file too. The two are often present together, you can guess why! My son had an IEP for 11 years of his MCPS career, and he's applying to selective colleges this fall. His school file will not follow him to university, only his high school grades. He does not need to disclose any of his needs during the admissions process, but can choose to do so at the Disability Office of the university he attends.
