You need to get her testing by a learning specialist. She also needs to be evaluated for either down’s syndrome or fetal alcohol syndrome. Your child needs additional help. Federal mandates (and I really hate them) apply in educational settings. You will have to fight the school and the policies but work towards an IEP for her. You will need the evaluations to get this in place.
If you can put her in private school.
These were my thoughts all along, and why we took her to a private Educational Psychologist (may I add at $200/hr) who basically said go with what the school is doing. She told us we could go to a higher level of testing with a specialist but thought we’d just be paying thousands of dollars for the same results. I’m trying to be proactive because I see HS on the horizon and I’m worried.
I looked at Private schools in our area and the Catholic ones (we are Catholic) don’t have much in the Special Ed dept and two others said if
your child needs Special Ed services, they get sent to the local (very good) public school for part of the day! (not our district)
