[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember parents: you can request an IEE for free if you don't like the quality of the school evals. You don't have to give a reason why you're requesting it. Just email the principal and copy the central office that you are requesting one. They are free. [/quote]

My response to this comment was deleted. This board is heavily censored if a teacher shares the other side of the story, which is a shame and does not

benefit anyone.

IEEs are not free. They cost thousands of dollars paid by the school system and tax payors. The intent is so parents have an option if they disagree with school assessments. Most IEES I see, do not follow that intent. Many Parents just want more assessments paid by someone else. Many do abuse the system. Those are facts and stop deleting and censoring school staff.

You’re not being censored, you’re just ridiculous. I responded to you and it was also deleted. Your insistence that greedy special needs parents are taking money away from the school system is wrong, asinine, blame shifting, and again, ridiculous. Most parents are, as the school system prefers, completely clueless and unable to advocate for themselves in the system. The school systems fight tooth and nail to avoid spending money on special education, going so far as to refuse to recognize dyslexia, the most common LD, and refusing to provide evidence based accommodations for it. We all understand there are limited resources and this is the game we are all forced to play. But the idea that the schools are just doing all they can while the mean old parents are robbing them, trying  to make them comply with FAPE! Rude! Can’t the dumb kids just take being told they’re dumb and there’s nothing more to do? So tiring! You’re out of it, unfair, and the numbers don’t back you up. You’re a biased person and clearly anti special needs children. [/quote]

Your comments show your lack of understanding about special education guidelines and law, which are not drafted by schools or teachers.

You say “schools refuse to recognize dyslexia.” You Make no sense, and that’s not accurate. Schools by LAW cannot give a MEDICAL diagnosis. Dyslexia is a medical diagnosis. Schools can’t diagnose other medical diagnosis, like adhd, autism, or anxiety. Schools CAN Do testing and find a child eligible in specific learning disability (for students who have dyslexia, whether family got a medical diagnosis in writing or not).

Yes that is correct that students with low IQS may not qualify for special education. That’s the law!! I didn’t write and neither did your schools teachers. We’re not biased, against you, or anti-special education. Surely there are incompetent teachers (like there is incompetency in every field!). That doesn’t make it ok to come online and tell parents that school staff are all incompetent, don’t care about kids, and are on a mission to not serve children. And I assure you, teachers don’t think it’s a game. You’re out of line.  I’m sorry for you that you are at this point.[/quote]

Hey, as a fellow parent of a slightly below average iq kid, I’d like to discuss actually helpful things rather than your view of the schools. Please stop dominating this thread.

OP, we have found sports to be really helpful. We have also done intensive tutoring although our kid isn’t classically dyslexic and it’s been great. For reading comprehension - a big weakness - we try subtitles and checking in often. [/quote]
