[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused about why it would take 2 months for testing, but I think (1) defer to next year could work only if the same players who know your kid will be involved but as PP said - move forward now - and (2) indeed make the most of this summer to boost reading through tutor, lab school, sienna, whatever else![/quote]

It’s the legal timeline. I’m confused why and how you think school staff have wide open calendars to complete tasks in five minutes? A request for testing isn’t planned and school teams need adequate time to test, write a report, share the report/results with parents, and schedule an eligibility meeting.[/quote]

Wow someone is snippy on the special needs board - we don't do that here.  Just parents helping parents and learning along the way. No one is suggesting that testing be completed in 5 minutes.[/quote]

Yes, the perspective that schools actually  know what they are doing and may act in the best interest of the child is quite often shouted down on this board. 
I can’t be snippy, but parents can spread false information about policies, special education, and staff? And constantly write that school teams are incompetent and parents shouldn’t listen to them? Talk about 1-sided censorship that is rampant on the special needs forum. [/quote][/quote]

I have 2 children with IEPs. Yes, I think the school in general has the best interest of children in mind. However, extra support and especially an IEP is not  something that is done overnight. There is a big difference in getting interventions through school and having an IEP with goals and mandated support.

Ask for an evaluation and IEP NOW!!!!  [/quote]

I think your ignorance is bliss. 
Interventions from a reading specialist doing OG are solid. It’s why so many of you parents praise tutors, who are not special education teachers. Yet all you insist on receiving l special education services, while you also harshly criticize and discredit special education staff. You make no sense. You have no idea. You are not professionals, you are scared and distrustful, and you (appallingly) advise other parents to follow in your foot steps. There are so many things wrong here.   You’re the problem in so many ways and it is just so sad, because you continue to act like victims.[/quote]

Oh you are so right….such great educational outcomes for all our kids with learning differences how can we not just trust you. Maybe then they will be literate by the time they are 16, if ever. Throw in a math issue and you guys just nail it. We are so lucky to have you.[/quote

You hate sped staff yet you insist on sped services?? Sure you are credible. [/quote]

My child is in private after seeing what public does.[/quote]

Oh and I really detest the administrators and central office, they are typically the worst. [/quote]
