[QUOTE="buddy, post: 519625, member: 12886"] I agree with JJJ, just cross the bridges slowly. For now, just get through the testing. She has some ideas and fears and doesn't understand the wide range of what an IEP can look like. At her age she just does not want to stand out in any way I bet. (just guessing). Later when you get to that point, you can take steps to write a plan. Hopefully after she understands, she can actually appreciate it and after going through the process,she will see that she can have input and will see how confidential it is.....also that it gives her RIGHTS that can even follow her into college (no iep but if she wants accommodations this documentation will help her get support at the post secondary level should she ever want it, all totally confidential) I can understand a girl her age not wanting to be in "Special Education" . My nephew is saying the same thing. He would rather die. He said he will run away. But he is afraid of the unknown. He will only need support he can get during study hall or quick check ins before a class etc. He will not be taking a special bus to school, LOL. (which by the way my son LOVES so not saying sp ed buses are not good, but I understand how a kid would not want it) [/QUOTE]
