[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I am in Arlington, not Faifax. We are getting huge pushback from the school, despite the teachers telling us DD failing assessment tests and issues clearly noted on her report card that are Classic symptoms of a learning disability. She had almost all B and a N in work habits. SChocolate wants to wait until she is clearly below grade level before testing further.  It is crystal clear that they don't want to spend any more resources on testing and potential IEP. They complain about her performance, but waffle when there is an opportunity to do anything.[/quote]

If the school declines your request for testing, I suggest you invoke your right to an Independent Educational Evaluation.  Like you, the school was willing to let our DS fail before doing anything.  We ended up paying out of pocket for assessments which documented the LDs and impact.  With DS #2, we were, again, going down that same path.  That time, I sent an email stating that if they were not going to do their own testing, we would pursue an IEE and request reimbursement from the school system.  It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be and I wish I hadn't wasted so much energy wringing my hands.  Wrights Law has a lot of info about it.[/quote]
