I went to an IEP meeting for my son yesterday. We have recently moved to a different state. I am worried about the direction this seems to be going. He has not had the psychological-education testing in 4 years. I asked if he could be retested to see what his progress has been. They said I should not have him retested because he might test out of LD. He has a true learning disability. I don't see how that would happen. They said it is harder for the child to qualify the older they are. His benchmarks don't have any way of being measured. Ex: He will complete assignments. He will ask for assistance when he doesn't understand assignments. How do these type of objectives address his learning needs? Am I expecting too much? I don't want to start off on a bad foot with his teachers. Please give me some thoughts. Thanks so much.
