[QUOTE="slsh, post: 297251, member: 8"] klmno- just a thought here. Might it not be better to play your IEE card *after* psychiatrist finishes playing with medications? Closer to when difficult child will be coming home? He's in a highly structured environment now, with a lot of medication changes going on. An IEE done now may well be completely useless once this chapter is over. While I completely understand the drive for a definitive diagnosis, the waters are so muddy right now (and have been for a while with various opinions from various profressionals), for school purposes only I would probably focus more on specifically what services you want in place for him now. Since the IEP in Department of Juvenile Justice is going to follow him home, let them do their thing now (I'm assuming he *will* have an IEP in Department of Juvenile Justice, right?), and then request an IEP mtg in home district when you have a date for his return. That might be a better time to request IEE if home SD is still being difficult. A lot can change between now and then - staffing, difficult child, etc. Just my 2 cents. ;) [/QUOTE]
