[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 555784"] You need to put a request in writing to the principal AND special education director stating that you "want 'difficult child' to be thoroughly evaluated for possible special education services. This testing should include but not be limited to academic, psychological, emotional/behavioral, Occupational Therapist (OT), and Speech evaluations." SEND the request CERTIFIED MAIL with RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED. This will start a federal timeline (that has consequences if not followed) in which they must do the testing you request. If they say they can't do it, tell them you want that in writing as well as the reasons for their denial to test. We are also recommending that you have difficult child evaluated by a Child Psychiatrist at the least and/or a neuropsychologist. Those results will add weight to your requests to the school for help. Without a "disability" of any kind to start with, they won't be as compelled to do anything. [/QUOTE]
