marytheres, I haven't got time at the moment to reply to everything I'd like to comment on with respect to the follow-up you've had from the school district. I agree with what mon and knute have added.
We were always met with a ton of resistance over scribing, even though we did ultimately get the accommodation written into our ds' IEP accommodations for fluency tests. I am sure the issue was time/staff limitations and I totally understand that. I just want to give you a thumbs-up for the advocacy you've done so far and an encouraging hug to keep going - it's not going to be over once you have the IEP in place, most of us have found that we are still advocating for quite some time - making sure teachers understand why the IEP and accommodations are necessary, making sure accommodations are followed, getting ready for next year's IEP update. It's definitely a journey. A journey that happens to be keeping me unusually busy this week in particular... hence not much time to reply in detail.
Hang in there!

Thank you so much, Polarbear. So sad and frustrating we are always have to work so hard advocating for our children...
