[QUOTE="Martie, post: 128420, member: 284"] I'm sorry to be really late on this, but in order to have an IEP [I]except for speech only[/I] a full case study evalaution (called by different names in different states but the parameters are in federal law, so there s a strong similarity among states) assessing all areas of supected disability must be conducted within 60 calendar days of a request to do this. SEND ALL CORRESPONDENCE BY CERTIFIED MAIL to make such requests. After the evaluations are completed, then the SD convenes and "eligibility" meeting in which it is determines if the child is in need of Special Education in order to make progress in the gen ed curriculum. There is a two-pronged test---having a qualifying disability that is having a negative ed impact---but I am not going to explain the two-pronged test. There are threads about it in the archives. IF the child is found eligible for Special Education, then the IEP is written either immediately at the same meeting, or within 30 days. A child cannot begin receiving services unless there is a valid IEP written. If the above does not sound familiar, then you child is not a qualified student and does not have an IEP. Further, you have to consent to both the evalaution and the Special Education services, so if you have given consent, I think you would know that. Martie [/QUOTE]
