[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, back to the original post, which is about a 13 year old. OP, does your son have an actual diagnosis? You said he has no IEP or 504. How long ago was his evaluation? To what extent do his communication issues seem to affect his daily functioning?[/quote]

OP here.  DS has a language processing disorder diagnosis from 2 years ago.  I tried to get a 504 but school has denied.  They say he's totally fine.  His language skills affects his academics in that he has difficulty writing well, reading comprehension, math word problems...  He is really quiet so he has limited friends (although he's not disliked in general) and doesn't really have any close friends.  When he does talk, he has difficulty getting the words out, and the substance of his speech is not sophisticated, as in he says stuff that sounds like something someone much younger than him would say.  He just "seems" younger than his age, which probably explains why he gets along with younger kids. [/quote]
