We are DESPERATE for help. Homework has been tearing our home life apart. Seriously, it's been hell. It's taken h.o.u.r.s. to have her even get started.
Same thing happened here with my two 2e kids in early elementary pre-diagnosis and before we had tutoring/accommodations/etc in place to help them. It's a really tough time and something that most teachers and parents don't understand either - I just wanted you to know that I understand, as well as (I suspect) the other 2e parents here.

You have no idea how important this is for me to hear. Well, maybe you do.
I believe in God. Two weeks ago, God and I had little chat. I did all the talking. I said, "Okay, here, God, I'm not sure why you thought I could handle parenting this incredible child, but she's out of my league and I'm out. Call in someone else. Thanks. Done."
So now, with WISC IV in hand, I can access special ed services for reading or key boarding, and get DD up to speed there. I can stomp my way into offices and meetings to get some OT and tutoring services for our normal-range-performing, but actually-under-achieving 2-e child, right? The IEP is going to be my main focus, right?
Priority: Diagnostics for reading disability
Priority: IEP for needed disability support services
Priority: Gifted education
Does anyone have recommendations on ordering these steps? Simultaneously? Chronologically?
