[quote=Anonymous] [i] Any one of the educational assessments gets you ALL the help you need by FEDERAL law. Many school districts don't follow this (our district tried to tell us my son would only get speech with a language label), but we forced our IEPT to take a look and they came back, and said, you are right, we are wrong.

So my child gets an aide, pullouts, pull-ins, speech, OT and a modified curriculum with his language label.[/i]

What county are you in?  What is your child coded as?  What age is your child?  Was your child performing below grade level when you went for the IEP? Our child is MERLD, but no suggestion of any autism spectrum.  We are having a hard time getting the school to provide any services. [/quote]

We are in the Midwest. He's now 10, but has been receiving services since he was 2. He was coded with a developmental disability until age 8, now he has the language impairment label. Yes, he was performing under grade level, which is why he gets services. My child can't access the curriculum unless it's put into a more visual form.

May I ask what services do you feel your child needs? My child has routinely been in the lowest percentiles for language performance...like between 1 and 3 percentile. [/quote]
