[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - I guess I should add that I don't have a warm rapport with DD's teacher.  She is pretty blunt and doesn't seem to want to engage more than necessary.  I've read other emails of hers and wondered about the wording.  I think we just have really different styles.  I don't know if this is going to change this year.  DD's reading teacher is much more open and chatty and has mentioned several concerns by name (even though she probably isn't supposed to).  Its actually kind of helpful to know what she is thinking though.  I can't get a feel if DD's main teacher is thinking the same things or not.  Actually looking forward to the next EMT meeting to see where things stand.

This is all new to me and its been confusing and overwhelming.  [b]Doesn't help that other parents and MY parent of course pipe in and say things like they don't think there are any problems[/b].  Or if I could just change my/our behavior (be more organized, consistent) - that everything would be fine.  My mother even stated that if DD got glasses that would solve everything.  Well, we have the glasses (yep she did need them) and it hasn't been a cure all....  [/quote]

You can address the lack of organization in the IEP.  Request an evaluation from the school.  They have to do it within 60 days if you are in MoCo, FCPS.  90 in DC.  It'll be faster than waiting for the appointment with Children's and KKI.  You can always add the private evaluation findings later when you get the results.  Your kid needs help with organization - like a checklist - she can get one with a 504 or IEP.  I would start the process now rather than later.

I had a giggle from the bolded.  My parents said the same thing bc my mother most likely has the same diagnosis as my DS but a whole lot worse and admitting that there is something "off" with DS would be acknowledging that my mother also has a problem.[/quote]
