[quote=Anonymous]I think the point is that the kids can't get the IEPs or the 504s in the first place even if they have a diagnosis and they are having trouble.

Lots of families have trouble arguing the finer points of an IEP and for this service and that but I think it's a very different thing to say they won't give anything.

Is the situation worse for Asian families in some schools? It could be. I really don't know but I think you're really ignorant to assume that isn't happening. People tend to be very PC about discrimination against African Americans and come to their defense but when it's about Asian Americans people seem to get up all in arms and say that's there's no way this is possible. I think that in itself is very racist.

[quote=Anonymous]This is so insane.

I would say that roughly 99.9% of families with kids with IEPS experience "pushback" in the IEP process.

I have a severely disabled child -- motoric, speech, every single sphere -- and I experience "pushback" in the IEP process.  I am currently fighting for several measures to be included in his IEP, with pushback galore.  This happens every single year.

I'm NOT saying discrimination doesn't exist.  But to blame pushback solely on discrimination?  You'd have to be nuts.[/quote][/quote]
