IM so glad s IEP meeting went well. I hope they can find whats

doing on with and get him the help he needs ( if it is

something like dyslexia)

I think nicks has something in his IEP about test taking, someone

doing the filling out of the bubbles for him or something, i cant

quite remember. I think he also get shelp with having the questions

read to him as hes behind in reading.

Hi Becki,

Just wanted to send some encouragement, as I know this must be very

stressful for you. It sounds like you've got a lot of good resources and

information. If there's anyone who can meet this challenge, though, it's you

and . Please keep us updated.

Aloha,

Georgina

Re: 's IEP

Val,

I do plan on reading what you have put in the files about IDEA and our

childrens rights.I also have more then 1 copy of my rights with all the

forms in it

if I want to apeal something and all the other things I can do if he isn't

tested.

I don't have any psych benefits but I will pay for an outside evaluation

and

if does indeed have a specific learning disability the school has to

pay.

My printer is on the fritz but anything I find that could be used to my

advantage I can e-mail it to a friend and have them print it out.I also

think

at the Nashville AF has a whole book on the laws that she gives

parents

who need it.

It just breaks my heart that knows his letters and their sounds but

put

it on paper and he is just lost and starts crying.He is so afraid that he

will have to repeat every grade and never get out of grade school.His self

esteam

is down the toilet and thats not right either.

I'm just praying that all goes well and I don't have to exercise my

rights.His IEP's have always been so easy as far as the arthritis and

speach and when

he was 3 there was no problem having the full academic testing done.

They did say that alot of TN laws have changed concerning special ed and

related services and we even had a TN bashing session.I know each state

and each

school district have differant ways of doing things but a state can not

change

a federal law.

Looks like it's time to do some homework.

Thanks a bunch

Becki and 7 systemic
