Did this really qualify as a substantial SD evaluation?

[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 28901, member: 23"] It's hard to say without knowing the background information of what caused the evaluation to be done to begin with and without knowing whether the testing done were screens, full batteries, based strictly on observation, etc. Also, I'm not familiar with the Batelle, sensory profile. Was any type of educational testing in these tests? School districts are only required to test in "suspected" areas of disability. With your child's dxs, I'm wondering why they didn't do a psychiatric evaluation. With the new IDEA 2004, a parent can only request this type testing once a year. When parents do not agree with the school district's evaluation, they can request an IEE (Independent Education Evaluation). It's at no cost to the parent. The IEE must meet the same criteria as the sd's, but the evaluator(s) are chosen by the parent. This request must be made in writing, via Certified Mail and sent to the attention of the Special Education Director of the school District. If you decide to request an IEE, there are sample letters in the Archives. There's also additional info on IEEs in the Archives. [/QUOTE]
