Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Natasha Thanks for responding. I can't imagine how you kept your composure. SOunds like you have done a fantastic job of being assertive and advoacating for you girls. Though I tried to be prepared for yesterday, it was so much worse than I ever imagined, and of course now I wish I had said this or that, not that it would have mattered. And of course there are the fantasies of what I would REALLY like to day to these people. I did already give them a letter from Dr. J. He reiterated the sx and impairments, and then recommended to follow the accomodations set forth by the neuropsych report. The team obviously gave it no creedence. May I ask what publications you used to educate them? I have begun doing a search to find things, but if there are some you can direct me to, I would be very appreciative.

Your correct in thinking that if the school does their own testing, it is going to be nothing like the testing you already had done.They have a right to evaluate your child, but I highlly doubt they have any LLMD " S to do the eval!!! > > > > I would tell them that they can either go by your LLMD's recommendations or they can pay for another LLMD of your choice to evaluate your child,therefore it would be much easier for them to go by the recommendations you already have. > > > > The school is already at fault if they are not implementing what is on your IEP.

My son already has an IEP, developed pre-lyme dx. I requested an IEP mtg, set for Tuesday, to ask talk to the school about his lyme dx and request the things on the report be added to his IEP. His team leader already mentioned to me " we might have to do our own testing " . > > > > I wanted to say, Are you kidding me? I hardly think any testing the school will do will be as thorough or accurate as the 3 days of testing and 23 page report I handed you. > > > > But since I have to be diplomatic, at least to start, I am first wondering, does anyone know what my rights are around this? I know I have a right to outside testing, which I already have done, but if there is a disparity in test results, what are my rights? > > > > > > > > His teacher already does not implement most of the accomodations that are already on the IEP. Always an uphill battle. My stomach is already turning at the thought of this meeting on Tuesday. > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > Dara > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) > > > > Recent Activity: * New Members 2 > > > > Visit Your Group > > > > Lyme Disease News continually updated from thousands of sources around the > > > > net: http://www.topix. net/health/ lyme-disease > > > > > > > > MedWorm: The latest items on: Lyme Disease > > > > http://tinyurl. com/23dgy8 > > > > > > > > > > > > Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use > > > > . > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
