Back for more and 2 Questions

February 24, 2011

Hi all,

Well, I am apparently back at this again with my daughter, . My son, ,

who had asperger's, OCD, etc. graduated from high school this past summer and

now I find that I am starting the " fight " with school all over again for my 10

year old daughter. (4th-grader) We are in the process of having an IEE done

through our local mental health facility and awaiting the summary. But the

preliminary seems to point to PDD-NOS.

Life is hectic enough with the 4 kids and the 4 year old! But it appears that I

will be back again with more questions.

First one..... my daughter receives 300 hours of resource/support for math.

Should she be getting a D on her work??? She has short term memory/recall

issues. She has comprehension issues..... but 300 hours and a D???

Next, her current IEP gives her resource for only language arts and math. She

does have issues with the above-a lot of comprehension issues. Shouldn't her

support include science and social science as well? Her grades have fluxuated so

far this year. But we believe the teacher is glossing things over and passing

her. I've been to her along with the therapist and she totally believes that

is " playing " us. (The therapist told the teacher straight out that

lacks the developmental skills to do so. But the teacher didn't believe her.)

I've even spoken to the principal who supported her teacher.

Any ideas? thanks.
