They don't test until 3rd where we are either unless requested by parent or recommended by teacher.
I wanted to mention that, at least in our area, this means no services until 4th grade!! That is a long time to wait if you are already wondering about things in k or 1st.
Maybe this is obvious, but I really thought, 'oh, they'll test in 3rd and a month later the kids will be in some kind of special class'. Whoops! They have a lot of kids to assess at that point I guess. Anyway, we went ahead and requested testing in early 2nd because ds was showing signs of real unhappiness.
He just had his first pull-out class of the year yesterday and was just sooooo stoked about the things they had done. So far so good!
