[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 194529, member: 5848"] Alot of good information here already. Some things to add: 1. The school district has to consider outside evaluations (diagnoses) it does not automatically have to accept an outside agency's diagnosis. As a school psychiatric I've gotten tons of "diagnoses" from MDs written on a prescription pad. The team considers this information but is not mandated to accept it. 2. Individual needs are what determine services. 3. School district has to determine whether or not student's education is adversely impacted and what the least restrictive environment is for student. e.g. student with formal ADHD diagnosis but doing well in all other areas of education and behavior may not be pulled out for resource room/specialized instruction time.
