[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His thought on ASP and GBRS related to your child?  Not sure how to approach....first grade teacher mentioned on her own to us that she thought AAP would be a good fit for our kid...but haven't heard anything from 2nd grade teacher other than our child is pulled out for enrichment with the AART for math and language arts weekly.[/quote]

I think some teachers try to stay neutral by not expressing opinions about AAP. My DS was in-pool, but I didn't find out until late January and was already working on the parent referral. I emailed his second grade teacher to let her know I was planning to refer so she could start thinking about the school-submitted work samples. I had never discussed AAP with her before. She thanked me for the heads-up, but didn't give any indication one way or the other what her opinion was. Neither of us mentioned the GBRS. When I requested the screening file later, the GBRS was 13 and the work samples she provided were excellent.

So, unless you want the teacher's opinion to help you decide whether to parent refer, I don't think you need to ask. However, the teacher might appreciate knowing your plans since he'll have to provide work samples and input for the GBRS. Letting him know now might save him some time later.[/quote]
