Do I tell the school I'm trying to get difficult child 1 evaluated?

[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 248261, member: 3444"] So who do I ask the question? Do I say "Oh counselor! I want my son to have an IEP!" or do I have to somehow lead them to draw that conclusion? difficult child 2 got his IEP because he brought a knife to school which got him the most attention he's ever had in his LIFE from district personnel all the way down to the school psychologist who decided he needed an evaluation. Do I just type up a letter requesting an evaluation for the IEP and send it certified to the school counselor? What if those tests coincide with what I want the neuropsychologist to do (whom I haven't even met with yet)? I just called the neuropsychologist's office and they still have no openings and aren't yet booking for their next slots which are in April. I let them know that things are critical for difficult child 1 right now and that I may be requesting an IEP for him which would set the ball in motion for the school's own evaluations and I need to know how that might conflict with what the ndoc needs to do. So they are going to get back to me today or tomorrow on that. It's so hard to get fires lit under people, and I have to be sure it's done in a controlled fashion or things will get messy. Ugh. No wonder I'm feeling overwhelmed right now... :( [/QUOTE]
