[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP The child has already been evaluated for autism (didn't have it) and given the diagnosis of developmental delayed. I think she has an IEP now. ..? The child will have to be reevaluated by the time she turns six so what's the point in having more evaluations now. OP Put your time and money into receiving therapies and meeting with those therapists to find out recommendations.

Good point to the previous poster who mentioned that the school expectations might be higher at this older grade level.[/quote]

Op here. Thanks. Maybe you’re right.

DD does have an IEP.

The classroom hasn’t changed this year though-same classroom, same teacher, same class size. The therapist is comparing what DD could do at the end of last year and pointing out that DD cannot do those same things this year. I do know it basically took ALL YEAR last year for DD to follow expectations. I guess it is worrisome that we’re two months into the school year and still not back to where we were at the end of last school year.[/quote]

What is the IEP for, though?  I agree it's worrisome that she can't do what she was doing last year, but not following instructions is very common for a 3 year old.

Is she older or younger, relative to the other children in the class, than she was before?  Teachers tend to calibrate the complexity of their instructions to the students they are working with.  Or if she's suddenly surrounded by younger children when she wasn't before, that can certainly be a distraction and a more chaotic environment.[/quote]
