[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here.  This is probably the lost in translation aspect of things but your kid isn’t “academically advanced.”  He may not be cognitively delayed but while knowing letters, colors, and numbers is great, it doesn’t really mean anything.

Look at his development as a whole and go by the cdc milestone chart.  Since your kid is closer to 3:

Although OP should get private evaluations, the IEP evaluations generally include a normed test of educational skills, which it sounds like OP's child came out as above-average on.  For example, when my 4 year old was evaluated in DC, they gave him the  Young Children’s Achievement Test (YCAT).  My guess is OP got something similar for a younger child.   So looking at an internet list of milestones is not helpful.  She should request a private evaluation.  OP, did you get any materials on your procedural rights?  They should outline how you can request a private evaluation and appeal the determination.  [/quote]
