[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I highly recommend an advocate also. My child has multiple learning disabilities and the school said they “ don’t see it” bc she has good grades. She is 5 years behind in math computation skills, 5. I would never expect the school to do anything to benefit your child, they will deny as long as they can and offer the most limited services only if they have to. It really is that bad. [/quote]

I know this is the story you are telling yourself, but something is missing here.

Dont do this, I am well aware of our situation, this is exactly what was said at the screening meeting. You know parents of kids with unique needs have enough going on, we  don t need this type of response.   We have an advocate and attorney now and have a whopping 30 minutes per week for services in her iep. My advice to the OP stands, take an advocate, you never know what type of responses you will receive from the school and you are better prepared with an advocate.[/quote]

At the meeting the school said, "your child is five years behind in math, and has multiple disabilities but we 'don't see it'?"

No.

I know you paid someone a lot of money to tell you your kid has multiple learning disabilites. I've seen plenty of neuropsychs for basically normal kids who get a low average subtest score and then have, 'dysgraphia," or "dyscalculia." I know your child isn't performing to your expectations.

But 5 years behind, with multiple disabilites and the school is denying services because they've all dedicated their lives to "never doing anything to benefit your child?" No.[/quote]

Ummm, was in a specialized dyslexia school for grades 2-5 so she could learn to read ( which of course in public school didn’t notice either, her first grade teacher literally said I don’t know anything about dyslexia. We gave private neuropsych upon enrollment in public middle school, but of course it was two and a half years old, so too long to be “ current” . Of course they gave an 504 bc they don’t need to do anything. I emailed to ask for testing bc of course they won’t do that unless you specifically write to the principal about wanting it. They didn’t want to test her for anything bc “ they didn’t see it” . I would not give in about the math bc they were taking her in a small group and giving  the answers so her grades were ok. She tested 3rd grade level in 8th grade which is ironically the same level she was upon enrollment in public school. Got an advocate she has a crap iep that we are still working though. Now you tell me how any of that served my kid.    And my child is performing fine now in reading and writing bc I paid over 100k to get her there  but to have a kid with that level of math computation skills and they won’t give her a calculator accomodation either. She is severely  dyslexic, etc so don’t even with someone made up a diagnosis. My kids will be perfectly fine once she gets out of the public school system, and if you are a teacher, it really wouldn’t surprise me at all…now you tell me how well that public school system served my child., you know besides not doing anything to help her learn to read , write or do math.
