Excuse my

> shouting, but KIDS DON'T HAVE TO FAIL TO OBTAIN SERVICES!

Ok, I have a question ....I just received the final

grade report card. Lane in first grade received a handful of A,B,and

C's ( some of which were circled I guess because handwriting

dissabilities were taken into consideration )and in Math across the

board each and every semester and final grade was an " F " . They passed

her on to second grade. She received OT throughout the year for fine

motor issues and also resource room with the SE teacher who also

worked on fine motor ( handwriting,cutting,coloring,etc. )So they

have been double working on motor. I am waiting on the " official "

letter comfirming that we have a meeting in place for the first week

of the new school year in August. I assume that I will not be out of

line to ask for help in the area of Math?

Definitely not!

Absolutely not. Get her help in math. Most kids with AS have an area that

they're weak in - or else they wouldn't have IEPs! got lots of help with

written language. We'll see if it helped enough come September, when he

transitions into mainstream classes. Go for it,

That's interesting. My first grader only gets S's for satisfactory or

U's for unsatisfactory.

Uh, no - demand it. Incidentally, my daughter just got her Iowa Test

scores back and she did not do well, and dismally in math. Does your

daughter have an IEP? I might have missed this in prior posts.

I would! Has she had an educational evaluation?

Roxanna ..... they did a MFE in kindergarten

including a WISC-III,OT,PT,speech,CAPD,etc. Most all results came out

average to low average so they could not agree to offer services.

Interstingly enough they agreed there were issues but were unable to

qualify her based on test results and the only one who would not sign

the papers was the school psych. I then brought in two parent mentors

who came out to our house and did their own testing, they accompanied

me to the meeting at the administrative building where there were

close to 10 people in attendance ( but not the psych, thank goodness

she either was not invited or declined ).

She had a WPPSI-III,VMI,W-J-III, and a NEPSY done at

Akron Children's Medical and this is where she was given the dx.

Now I am wondering if the school can do tests to find

her SLT's ( student learning traits )? Do you know if this is done or

can be done? I think that is what I need to know the most at this

point to be prepared for the IEP in August. I believe she is a very

**visual** learner and I want the accomodations set up to make the

most of her learning style. I feel that if they present work to her

in the correct manner she will do really well.
