[QUOTE="klmno, post: 106536, member: 3699"] I'm going througha similar (but different) painful waiting process here too. It took 4 mos to get an evaluation by a team that included a psychiatrist and Ed spec. and I've already waited 2 mos. trying to get results. They gave me verbal feedback while there, which was consoling, but doesn't help a bit with sd and others. I've called a zillion times and I'm told the psychiatrist's evaluation has been done but the Ed spec.'s isn't. Can I go ahead and get a copy of psychiatrist's portion? Sure, they tell me- just like they always tell me what I want to hear on the phone. Then, I still get nothing in the mail and no phone call back with info or to schedule a "feedback" session. I think this is what we have to go thru when we get these evaluations from well-known places with good reputations. I've decided to proceed with what I can and quit waiting on these results. However, I hope I still get them at some point because I think they will be more accurate and helpful then basing IEP and treatment plan on what we have now. To summarize my suggestion- I wouldn't put everything on hold, proceed as best you can but keep trying to get the tests and results in hand that you need. Unfortunately, you'll probably find you need them in 6 mos as much, if not more, than you do now. [/QUOTE]
