[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't everyone do better with fewer distractions and preferential seating? Aren't there many children who don't finish their work? Without an official diagnosis, I can't see the school granting you and the child these advantages. There could be any number of reasons why a bright child doesn't finish schoolwork.[/quote]

Well, they might...but this hasn't been a matter of just wanting my kid to do better, but of my kid even being able to finish her work, or her tests, or join her group at their table, or follow most directions.  Her teacher does have the rest of the class as a comparison point and even though my kid is reading at an advanced level and has high MAP scores, she will often be the very last kid in the class to complete work, and only because her teacher has given her extra time or extra direction or prompting.  I was also hoping that the school could help us get a diagnosis. We cannot afford out of pocket private testing right now. We do have an appointment in the summer scheduled at the hospital and hope that our insurance will cover some of it...but I'm hoping the school will evaluate her at least to the extent that they could then provide her with formal accomodations.
