OhE, I knew you were in Ohio and was hoping you would chime in here! Your advice with regard to remediation before the school evaluations is spot on with what the NP told us, so thank you! I'm already feeling much more calm about the whole process within two hours of my first post on WTM!

Thanks, kbutton! It's great to have advice from people who have already tread these waters! That is helpful information for the ETR, the NP suggested we get a speech-language eval since she struggled with some language skill sets. If anyone has any other helpful tips as we begin this process, things you wish you'd known, please join in, I'm all ears!

I knew someone here would have the answer and quickly, too! Thank you very much! :001_smile: I think I just saw the word "enroll" and started getting jittery, haha! I won't push to get the IEP done in a couple weeks, we'll just keep plodding along as usual until it's ready and go from there. I will look into that book as well, thanks for the recommendation!

Hi All! This is my first post on the WTM forums; however, I've lurked here for a few years (and have learned copious amounts from all of you amazing people)! My seven-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD-Inattentive and SLD's in reading and writing. Even though I knew it was coming and am happy to have some answers, it's still a hard thing to process. The private neuropsych who diagnosed her suggested we implement an IEP through our local school district in order to access the Jon Peterson scholarship. We think this is a good plan because we do have providers in our area that we would like to use. We sent a letter to the school district requesting an evaluation. We received a reply today that has me confused, so I was hoping you could help me! Here is the part I'm concerned about (with personal info excluded): "The first thing we need to have you do is enroll in ******** School District. You will need to come in and enroll at the Administration Building with **** ******. Her phone number is *** *** **** and her email is **********. Please make sure you let her know that you are enrolling on paper but not for a spot as you are interested in one of the scholarships." So, is it normal to have to "enroll on paper"? On the ODE website, it says enrollment is not required to receive the scholarship, just that we need to supply some info about residence and to create a SSID. What would you do in my situation? Thanks for any help you can provide; we're in way over our heads with this, especially since the scholarship deadline is April 15th!
