HFI does not always come with jaundice and vommiting (usually does of course), by yes clearly she was tested for malabsorbtion not HFI. Good luck sorts it out!

Her record has been corrected and the referral revoked. I did get the names and number for our county's school advocacy and some for testing so at least that is a step in a direction, hopefully the right one.

If anyone knows of someone who has done testing for 2E kids in the Denver area, especially girls, I'd love to hear some recommendations.

Oh gosh that is so disappointing.

It is and it isn't. The amount of information I was finally able to get from the care nurse was a huge help. I have the number to advocates for our district and I was able to find some affordable testing for LD at the college campus. There's an intake appt where I hope I can get a feel for how they will respond to test scores we have already. It far more information than I had before when neither the doctors nor the schools wanted to take responsibility for the necessary test.

An update:

We DID get the IEP finalized under a learning disability. She'll stay in first grade and continue first grade science, history, literature, music, and art but continue to work at slower kindergarten pace for phonics. I'm okay with this plan for the rest of the school year. I am very happy I now have documentation that, even though she tests low average for her age, she does display areas of severe problems with phonics, reading, writing, and math calculation. I should have test results from the school soon and hopefully actual numbers will tell me more.

She'll be getting tested at the University this summer for learning disorders and I have made them fully aware of what they are getting. They have all the testing result I have so I am hoping they can give us a hand. I'm still looking for affordable neuropsych testing. If anyone knows of anything in Denver I'd love to know.
