[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. I totally missed the train on anything AAP related. I didn't realize this was something parents plan and prep for (I'm not from here). I now have a 1st and 3 grader who are very good students but it's becoming apparent that our school environment is not really helping them. There's a lot of disruption in the  classroom and good students just go unnoticed. My 3rd grader did not get a high enough score in 2nd grade for AAP. I am not really surprised since he pretty much didn't learn anything during the pandemic (we didn't have a tutor, he hated on-line school and I was overwhelmed).  I feel bad for not even trying. What's the way to go? Prep and ask if he can take a COGAT, like PP mentioned?[/quote]

I think they can take the CogAT one more time through FCPS, so ask the AART about that. They can also take the CogAT or WISC privately if you pay for it. Just apply again next year (the deadline is in December) with new test scores and make sure to submit all of the parent referral forms and some work samples from your DC.[/quote]

Yes, parents with deep pockets can manage the appeals process and fund private diagnoses to get their children in the backdoor. It's more common than many would like to admit.[/quote]

Good lord you show up on every single thread and I truly don’t understand your motivation in posting this nonsense. I have a kid who got in unprepped, first round, at a high SES school w no diagnosis and I don’t see any peers who got in on appeal as less than. Your comments are offensive to 2E kids. [b]Additional testing/diagnosis is not a backdoor.[/b] [/quote]

NP, that's exactly what it is when it is limited to a subset with the knowledge and means to get the diagnosis. [/quote]

That’s not what backdoor means. Now you’re talking about equity, which is something different. [/quote]
