[quote=Anonymous]1) Get on the waiting list because it can take awhile
2) In the meantime, request an evaluation by the school psychologist/ diagnostician for special education services. Send the request to the principal and copy the special ed director. Lots of templates online.
3) Agree to get off the apps. We are lucky our school does not use apps. That is honestly kind of shocking to me (we are in a generic public school but ipads are for the 3x/year iready testing, 1x/week media, and as a "listen to story" station).

My 3rd child (6 yo) has CP and academics come difficult for him. I have done a lot of research (and he has been to a bunch of tutors, OT, etc. who I have learned from) and he really needs repetition and sensory learning. We do fundations practice at home which aligns with what he does at school and involves cutting, cluing, pasting, verbal work, etc. and we do his (optional/supplemental) math hw using dominos, dice, legos, etc., rather than just paper pencil work. Finally, we play a LOT of games at home. That helps with mental math and just learning different concepts.

He will never be a high achiever academically - it is night and day seeing his aptitude vs his siblings' - but his ceiling is a lot higher than his floor, and I want to get him as close to his ceiling as possible.

4) Ask what Tier 2 interventions are in place and whether your dc qualifies. What is your child scoring on diagnostics? [/quote]
