    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Wow, so much information! Thank you so much, Sheila. You have truly been a blessing in helping me and ultimately helping my son! Seriously, if things go as I hope (and they will, even if I have to don my warrior armor again and again), my son is going to grow up to be a better well-rounded...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Yes, rather amazing what a certified letter, warrior mom, AND YOU GUYS (especially you Sheila) can do. Thank you so much for all your help! I'm suspicious as well. I'm suspicious because I just AM by nature (LOL and probably always will be) but also because of things I have read here and...

    SD evaluation vs. private evaluation

    Okay I meant go before a hearing officer and said court hearing. LOL I'm goofy that way I guess. Wasn't thinking- sorry. Martie is, ofcourse, correct. :D

    Adverse impact - educational impact and special education

    Sheila just posted this on another thread that I have. This change just came into affect on Aug 14th, 2006 I think? Too bad I read that on the thread yesterday shortly after my ARD meeting- I would have loved to have shown them this change! Anyway, here it is...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Oh and by the way- the things mentioned and in writing are the things I asked for and/or some added that were mentioned by the teacher and such. Basically things like he's going to get to go to some resources class that is NOT just Special Education children (and none of us were afraid if he missed some of...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Hi Sheila, It's interesting that you said this part: "To the contrary, the regs state, "Section 300.101(c) has been revised to clarify that a free appropriate public education (FAPE) must be available to any individual child with a disability who needs special education and related services...

    SD evaluation vs. private evaluation

    All I know for sure is that if you request an evaluation (or they request it- whatever- if an full and individual evaluation is done) and you disagree with the assessment- you can request an IEE (independent education evaluation I think) and they can agree to do that and they pay for it- or they...

    That is so great! What is Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) if you don't mind explaining?

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Thank you again for the additional information. I'm not sure whether you are agreeing with the way I'm reading that or the way they are though. It's not your fault and I appreciate your help. I think I'm just kinda getting overload in the brain and not understanding stuff now- my brain is like...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Thanks for that. I don't understand why I couldn't find something that was that 'clear' in all these months searching online! geesh One thing I have noticed though is that repeatedly in the federal laws where it concerns the various disabilities eligible it states if it "adversely affects...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    I read another thread where a link was provided to here: http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/elig.sld.osep.felton.htm This is ALL about eligibility for a child that is passing grades but shows severe discrepencies in one or more of 7 areas (of which my son showed severe discrepencies up to 35...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Oh dear Lord give me strength. Now I receive a phone call today (7th day of school- short honeymoon huh?) that my oldest who is in middle school/7th grade now is like totally wacked even on the medications. Here I thought she was doing well and all I did was mention she's ADHD/ODD on medication to each...

    I've got a big question,

    I agree with Sheila and it's part of why the pediatrician had thoughts of bipolar with my son. All his other 'issues' aside- he can have good days and good weeks and bad days and bad days and horrible days and horrible weeks- you get what I'm saying. And I'm sorta feeling what you are- because ofcourse...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Thanks again for the posts ladies! Sheila, I haven't yet- but I intend to try (to find out from other parents if they received this same form) because this form is just way too weird that it's listing out exact problems my son has had in there previously and the exact same wording used in this...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    I was wondering about looking at his records. I wonder how much would/could be changed and/or taken out of his records for me not to see when they are given 45 days (if they wanted to delay). In any case- I came back to post to see what you think about this. My son has been in what they call...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    you know Sheila, and all, I forgot to mention just another example of how this school/principal is and how she's really not cooperative and it implies that she's full of bull-hooey when she talks about getting him the help he needs even without an IEP. I really don't see it happening! I already...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Sheila- I tried to contact you by email to tell you this but I have something weird going on with my gmail because it won't show what I'm typing- ever! It's like way way behind and like 5minutes after I type it shows up and I can't stand that. I can't type like that. I type fast but geesh. LOL...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Thanks Sheila... what would I do without you? #3 is the one that has me concerned though because I really don't see them ever reading "educational need" anything other than failing grades and thus aren't going to find him eligible until he does have failing grades. For something so subjective-...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    I'm an analyst at heart? I didn't even know that. LOL I appreciate your post- once again! I'm still a little lost on the "educational need" thing. It seems that what you posted above agrees with them- and since he's not failing they feel there is no educational need (and because his huge...

    Adverse Impact - ARD mtg tomorrow- can someone help me understand this?

    Okay Sheila- I hate to ask for more of your help but I hope you don't mind. I went to go write the letter and get those out today and it dawned on me that I never received the psychologists report she said she had a copy of- but then I went to look in the folder I have (including any and all...
