[QUOTE="Amity, post: 720242, member: 22179"] Difficult son is 6 and today I had an IEP meeting. Myself and people from 5 different departments. He already has an IEP in place but so much behavior came to a head during the summer that I was way worried about him in the school. Guess it was unfounded. They said he is perfectly normal in every way. He is super sweet and never has had any issues. They see no reason to treat him unlike the masses. I am floored. On one hand I'm proud, like yeah baby that's awesome and then it hits. Wtf. I am not making this stuff up. I am not creating a disability. I am not doing this crap for fun. I don't deal with tantrums, special diets, sleeping issues, anxiety issues, hiding and general behavioral upsets in all of our family because I am bored. I am not creating drama nor do I want this for my little boy. I came in armed with asking for a occupational therapy evaluation, an updated speech and language assessment. A small group or one on one paraprofessional. Special requests for field trips, holiday events, and assemblies. I was armed with information from law wise, forums, blogs and Facebook groups information on how to go about this meeting. I was ready to get the most for my son. to see him get what he needs and they basically said it's all unnecessary. I actually asked at one point if they had the right child. I thought maybe for a minute there they didn't grab the wrong folder and thought they were talking with someone else. They said likely he will age out of services at 8 and probably will not need an IEP. I seriously don't know what to do with this information I feel angry and weirded out and angry and frustrated and angry [/QUOTE]
