Those of you with 2e children how did they qualify for an IEP? Did they meet the requirements of 16th percentile in testing areas? My district is using this as a reason NOT to qualify my 8yo dd for an IEP. Because her math and reading are not that low. However on the wisc she had two 16%, one 9%, and one 2% in the WMI and PSI areas. And she was also right on the cut off with her Receptive Language score on her speech/language eval with a 16%. Not to mention multiple percentiles between 7 and 15% on CTOPP and WJ-III, but these tests were done by a reputable outside testing hospital and my feeling is they don't want to acknowledge these scores.
My DS is not behind grade level in any academic subject, but he has an IEP. Do some reading in Wrightslaw's website, as well as their book From Emotions To Advocacy.
You may want to hire an educational advocate to help you work through this; ours has been more than worth what we pay her.
