I'm just trying to gather information for a school meeting; I don't know if we're going to try for an IEP or not. However, I have been told before here that it's possible to get an IEP based on a functional delay (in my son's case, delayed fine motor) even without an academic delay. I've looked through Wrightslaw and found references, but can't find anything straightforward I could print and bring with me. Can anyone point me towards a reference? The special education teacher refused to even attend the meeting saying my son wasn't eligible even though he is having considerable difficulties in class right now.
