I share the frustration with the school and will sneak in and "borrow" your support. I am still trying to get copies of assessments done on my son 1 year ago. They were done to test him out of OT. Supposively my son, with a severe sensory integration disorder tested at a 12 year level on some measures (he was 8 at the time). He's now in outpatient OT with an awesome therapist and making great progress.

In talking over the test the school OT described to me, it seems that they probably tested him on his only SI related strength (visual motor). My hypothesis - either they know so little about SI that they did not know how to read and interpret the SIPT that they had in their possession at that time. OR alternative hypothesis - they wanted to dump a kid who was a royal pain in their rump!

We are probably heading for court. Next year my son will have 4 different teachers - so no more messing around. THey either put his needs into his service contract or we go to court. I'm in the process of trying to find an education law attorney who does not have a conflict of interest. Education Law Center states we have the right to demand what we are asking for our son, but they just give verbal advise, nothing in writing.

So vent away - I too share in your frustration. Ok all together now 1...2...3... ARRRGGGGHHHHH!
