[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely get your child evaluated!  [b]Why would you not?[/b] There is clearly an issue.  Would you rather not know what it is and just guess and hope that your kid doesn't struggle with school?  Why would you not give your kid every advantage that you could (and that they need).

Our neuropsych evaluation did not require both parents to consent.  DH agreed with testing so it wasn't an issue but his consent definitely wasn't required.

I have 2 kids with ADHD one also with learning disabilites.  Our diagnoses are somewhat recent and we're finally realizing that DH almost certainly has it as well.  He's getting evaluated soon.  [/quote]

DP - did you not read the question? Because her husband is dead set against it.

I feel like a lot of people on this thread are answering the question of "should an evaluation be done?" which is NOT the question. The question is - how do you handle this when your spouse disagrees?[/quote]

How you responding such a disagreement is try to look objectively at the facts.  The child is doing fine academically which is not in dispute. Op said it.  The IEP team did not find any need for services.  Getting a private professional to work up an evaluation to present to the district will cost money and would still require a factual basis for that professional to base the report on.  What is the deficit and how is it negatively impacting the child's performance in school and what.sccomadation is being requested.   No answer.from op.  Daydreaming is not a disability.  Being messy is not a disability.  Missing assignments but not to the extent it has any discernable impact on the child's oerfosmce.in.school is not a disability.   If the child lacks the self discipline.to.complete.some.assognmemtd on time, that is a parental issue no it a.school issue and not an  special needs issue.  Call g garden variety normal range goofing off a "lack of executive functioning" is nonsense as the IEP team did not.agree[/quote]
