Chay, I needed to re-read your post on your DS's IEP for inspiration. I need a pep talk.
I just got off the phone with DD's school special ed rep and she said DD is doing well on her 504 with classroom accommodations and will not need an IEP because she is performing at grade level. We will not be requesting any more testing, she said. The district does not test for dyslexia, she said. She was very nice about the bad news, as well as sympathetic to my concerns.
As far as gifted programming goes, she said all second graders get tested with the OLSAT next year in the spring and DD can access gifted clusters in 3rd grade.
Well, I am glad I have scheduled to meet with a lawyer in a couple weeks. It's simply not acceptable to me that a giant school district is satisfied saying a child with an exceptional intellect is accommodating their own significant learning disabilities and therefore does not need district services.
arrrrgh!
