[quote=Anonymous][quote]Well we did not have to fight at all. If you have to fight, then it not must be legitimate. We have an ADHD diagnosis along with slow processing speed. Never had an issue at all.

I have a TON of experience, unfortunately, with getting services from different MCPS schools, and can tell you that your situation is the exception rather than the norm, which is the reverse of what it should be.

Well perhaps you are asking for too much! For us it has been a tiny struggle (if you want to call it that)...i.e. trying to take things off the list each year, but we have been successful at maintaining our accommodations over several years without any legal counsel (just updated testing)...and now entering high school.

As I was leaving the IEP meeting today, I was thinking of this thread.  My 6th grader is at/above grade level in every academic area except math.  He's never been on grade level for math and has never passed a math SOL.  The school team is, again, proposing to do exactly what was done the last 7 years - he's been in a self-contained special ed classroom for math for 7 years.  They refuse to do anything different.  You really think that my insistence on them doing something different - something more intensive - is asking too much?  With 7 years of data on his progress, I can tell you that my DS will NEVER pass math and will NEVER be on grade level.  Yet, he's able to be at/above grade level in every academic area in the general education classroom.  You have no idea what it's like and can't see beyond your own experience.[/quote]
