[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 555871, member: 84"] Bunny, IC is right, look for a parent advocate. But even if you can't find one, strike up a relationship with your state school board. You can call them and ask if the school can state/treat a student as if they do not have a diagnosed disability...........and the state school board will quote you the law word for word, will send you a copy of said law........and I've always had them to please tell them if the school doesn't adjust their attitude, and then the state school board comes down hard on them. This is the ONLY thing that worked for me with Travis. Our SD hated me for it, well.....they still do as I pulled the same thing when they were writing out the IEP for my grandson.......but I get no back talk that way. If difficult child has made it to honor's english by learning to compensate, he most likely does not require intervention. I don't say that to be mean. (trust me) I'm saying it because at this stage......someone trying to teach him new ways just might make it much worse, rather than better. And suddenly struggling in honor's english for a good student isn't that uncommon, disability or not. Nichole has dyslexia. We opted OUT of an IEP for her because by the time of diagnosis she was 14-15 yrs old. She'd already developed her own ways to cope and while not an honor student, was a good student when she applied herself. As Nichole put it, she didn't want anyone "messing her up" at that point. Not to mention she'd witnessed enough of the IEP wars over her brother to not want to go through it herself. **added note** Teachers once they learned of her diagnosis found ways to help her when they'd spot her struggling.....whether to give her just a bit more time or whatever. I found it nice, but a bit surprising. [/QUOTE]
