[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my husband and I have always strongly disagreed on some parenting stuff.  One of the major hot topics is that one of our children, I believe has executive functioning issues, and I have wanted our child to get evaluated for many years.  Husband vehemently opposed any kind of evaluation or seeking of a diagnosis.  Our child is doing fine academically, so I did not push it too hard, especially seeing how opposed my husband was to the idea.  So fast forward to now, and our child's IEP team suggested looking into a 504 for our child so that they would qualify for some supports in the classroom.  It requires a note from the pediatrician.

Do I....
a) Just go ahead and do what's necessary to get this all in place?
b) Open up a discussion with my husband which will end up being dragged out for weeks, make me upset, and then we finally end up doing nothing because we can't agree on a decision[/quote]

Op-I have an exdh like this...I'm sorry. In my experience, I would just get the dr note and let the school do their thing. The school would not have said anything to you if they weren't seeing concerns, they are trying to meet your child's needs.

Not sure where in the thread it was moved to the SN forum (good that it was though), I'll say that it is VERY common for gifted kids to be neurodiverse in some way. OP's dc could benefit from an evaluation. I have a dc who is gifted (dx through a major university's pediactric program) and also dx ASD, after a thorough neuropysch eval  (and all dc's providers concur with the dx) and my exdh STILL doesn't 'agree'. But he likes the gifted dx...I'm glad I have always advocated for dc and put their needs first over exdh's ego or whatever! Please OP let your dc get the eval that the school says they need.[/quote]
