Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi all, Well, I blew up at the ARD today. My child has documneted physical brain development problems ( functional MRI) that affect language. We have testing from the school district, a developmental pediatrician, speech therapist, neurologist, etc that shows he has language processing deficits. Yet, today, when I showed them some homeowrk that could not be complated as written, the teacher said, " oh I told the kids to change that " . I said he did not remember, you have to write it down for him. She said, " No, he chooses not to remember " . I LOST IT! I started reiterating the brain development deficits and their impact. They denied I had ever shown them!! They said they couldn't help more because he doesn't have an IEP. I said, that is because you refuse to create one for him. At that point I was speaking loudly over the principal and standing up. Anyway, I am sending them a letter stating that I remove all of my previous approvals for his current " IEP " , requesting a new ARD, and requesting a time to review all of the school's records they have on him. I also want to consult with an advocate and possibly have one present at the next ARD. I am in the Montgomery School District. Does anyone know of a good advocate on the North side of Houston? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
