[quote=Anonymous] My school gave me a runaround like this. I was lucky enough to have Dr. Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt, who had evaluated our son in person, including autism and academic testing, phone conference in a meeting with like 10 school personnel, including the director. They were determined to say our child had autism -- without having done the actual testing (because we had refused it). They thought our DS just looked and acted like other kids they had decided had autism, so they wanted to lump my son in that category as well. He shredded them. Really nicely, but just shredded them. Their lack of knowledge about autism and special needs specifically was embarrassing. They quickly shut up after a few volleys of trying to out-expert him. It was glorious. Could your developmental ped phone conference in, or at least call the school psycho or sent them a letter? They crumple quickly when actually faced with expertise.[/quote]
