[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was your child having any issues in school due to his disabilities? We know of a lot of families with children with ADHD, speech issues and fine motor delays who have not bothered to ask for a 504 or IEP because their children are doing okay. Could they be doing better? Sure, probably, but that's a really hard sell to most SN teams.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, With full sympathy for your situation, asking a school to evaluate a child who may or may not have any issues is very different from asking them to evaluate a child who is known to have ASD or ADHD.[/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to.  DS had already been diagnosed privately with ADHD as well as expressive/receptive speech delays and fine motor delays.  The school refused to accept the outside evaluations and refused to conduct their own evaluations.  We had to hire an advocate.  So, no, I don't think FCPS is treating Asians any differently than white kids. [/quote][/quote]
 
Was my DS having issues in school due to his disabilities?  Think for a minute.....if my DS was doing 'okay' why would we pursue private evaluations and initiate the IEP process? Because we thought it'd be fun and we liked dropping thousands of dollars on evaluations?[/quote]

Because OK to some parents is only getting A's and B's in honors classes. To other parents doing OK is getting C's in regular classes. To me doing Ok is being mainstreamed in some gen Ed classes with support. [/quote]
