School Meeting for Lauren

Today was the meeting at Lauren's school. Seems I do have the school psychologist on my side. I brought all the papers I have been collecting. Good thing I did. Her teacher didn't really have anything. She brought her journal but nothing that really showed what we were dealing with. The teacher also seemed evasive when asked several questions regarding Lauren's performance in class. The reading specialist seemed to be concerned regarding her reading. She has been working with Lauren since the beginning of the year and said her phonological awareness score had not increased from September to November. She also mentioned that Lauren's fear of being singled out or not failing can be at time debilitating. She said in one case, it took Lauren 2 days to get back to normal. I have requested a broad spectrum of testing be done to help identify the problem and told them that I am looking to have an IEP written when we are done. They hope to meet again in 1 month with the results and an action plan to move forward.
