The testing.... was a nightmare.
I had no idea what to expect, but I did at least figure they had experience with special children and would take that into account. Alas.
The first day of testing took forever - he wouldn't focus on any of the questions long enough to answer them, kept going off on tangents, then throwing fits when he couldn't stop the testing.
At the end of the day, they concluded that they couldn't make a decision because they couldn't get him to finish the tests.
Uh. DUH, isn't that why I brought him here??
Which of course meant another month long wait while they setup another testing time for him. That time, they did it with one person in the room, with bribes like M&M's, and were able to get most of the way done.
After all this they sat us down and finally concluded that he needed some help. I can't remember today what that first IEP entailed - I had no idea what they were talking about at the time and was absolutely lost!
Thus started Emerson's journey at Rainbows!
