To & anyone familiar, Speech & Lang eval(should I ask for a re evaluation

[Guest guest]

Hello,

It has been a long time since I posted. is 15. He was

evaluated for speech & langauge and pragmatic skills sept of 2007 by

a private provider. I don't think the school speech therapist knows

much about pragmatics which is why the school paid for the private

evaluation. has access to a para professional during all his

core classes, but he is having problems getting her to help him when

he asks. He switched schools in August and got a new para

professional this school year. So in August he got all new teachers

and a new para professional, but he didn't get training in how to ask

for help. The teacher who manages his IEP says he got too much help

last year. They accuse him of asking for the answers, instead of

trying to find out the answers himself. He reads below the 3rd grade

level and not fluently yet.

My question is: is it too soon to request a re evaluation of

's pragmatic skills? Last years test says that

doesn't explain and describe situations well enough. I believe it is

why he is getting so frustrated with his teachers and para

professional who refuse to help him when he feels he needs help.

Thanks,

Lorraine
