[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused, didn't your child have to have an evaluation and diagnosis to get a IEP in the first place? It sounds like one is already in place so how did that transpire?[/quote]

After the original post, several pages in, OP disclosed that her child has an IEP not due to a disability, but because in her state, IEPs are provided for gifted and talented children, and her child is gifted and talented.  She also stated the child is doing "fine academically" in her very first post.

OP believes her child is disabled because he daydreams, sometimes forgets to hand in his homework or hands it in late, makes drawings in class, and has a messy backpack.

The school's IEP team told her she could try to get a 504 evaluation or a letter from a pediatrician.  However, 504s under the 1973 Rehab law still require a diagnosed disability to receive an in school accommodation.

OP's child clearly has no recognized disability under either under IDEA or the 1973 law.  All behaviors described by OP, while they may impact the child's academic performance, although apparently up to now have not, are well within the range of normal behavior.

In all likelihood, to the extent the child lacks some degree of motivation in school, the cause is his parent's constant and counterproductive attempts to interfere with his schooling which so far has been "fine academically," even to the extent of attempting to coerce the district into unfairly labeling the child as "special needs" or "disabled" for the purpose of extracting some sort of marginal perceived *edge" over other students, such as more time to take tests or preferential seating assignments.  It is all a waste of school resources and unfair to everyone involved, most especially, unfair.to OPs own child.[/quote]

Hey.  So I can see this topic hits too close to home for you.  Maybe it's a family member, or maybe it's even your own child and you are fighting with your own spouse.  But can you just cool it with your attacks?  You keep telling my story with some other unrelated story that isn't mine.  And accusing me of having Munchausen by proxy, trying to coerce the district to label my child as disabled.  I'm not sure where you got any of that out of what I shared.  I'm sorry for whatever you had to experience.  But stop projecting that onto my scenario and move on.[/quote]
