[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 209783, member: 23"] #1 - most educators don't have a clue about Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), and don't want to recognize the adverse educational impact therefrom #2 - don't be surprised that they'll want to "evaluate" with-a "Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) screen." You're answer is "'no." Then they'll probably suggest the sd Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluate with-a "battery." You're answer is "no." Then be prepared for the possibility of their suggestion for a hearing test with-an audiologist. You're answer is "no." #3 - send your letter via CM requesting a Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) evaluation by a qualified audiologist with a subspecialty in Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). $4 - not just any audiologist will do. Get on the phone and locate them in your community; get recommendations from other parents if possible. This evaluation will be an independent evaluation, e.g., private, therefore you'll want to know who's qualified to perform the evaluation beforehand. If the sd want to require you to use "their" evaluator know that you don't have to. Sds MAY NOT require parents to use their "private" evaluators, although they are required to be in a position to tender recommendations if a parent requests it. (in my opinion it's hard to get an independent evaluation from a source the sd has under contract.) #5 - I've never known a sd to have the specialty equipment required to do an appropriate, and they won't bat an eye when they tell you their staff can do it. If they insist that they evaluate, and they have the legal right to do so or can refuse you IE request, give your permission for the evaluation, then, if you do not again. Seems like I'm forgetting something, but I've got to get difficult child to school. There's a lot of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)/Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) info in the archives. Check back with-you later. [/QUOTE]
