[QUOTE="spedconsultant, post: 424819, member: 11868"] Hi, Sometimes IEP teams rely on paperwork, but don't look at the whole picture as you are describing it. You have the right to disagree with their determination, you can also ask for additional evaluations as well as an independent evaluation. It's appropriate that you requested the independent evaluation and yes they have to pay for it. But you need to also let them know that you have concerns that she may have dyslexia, but clarify what you mean, is it a written language disability or reading disability? They may not be seeing this. As far as anxiety, that definitely qualifies under Other Health Impaired or a 504. Her disability disrupts her day because she is leaving class often to go to the nurse. Her anxiety is her communication that she is experiencing stress. They can put guidance/counseling into her day as well as checkin's to help her manage her anxiety. Her anxiety attacks and home can also be covered as demonstrations that anxiety is affecting her functional abilities and that by supporting her disability through services and accommodations, her anxiety attacks at home may decrease. Your school can let you know what type of evaluator you need to re-evaluate, but they can't pick who it is. I would compose a letter to them letting them know your additional concerns about dyslexia and listing how you see her anxiety affecting her at school. IDEA covers not just academic but functional skills. How are her social skills? Does she have friends at school? Can she maintain friendships? Is she engaged in recess, luch?
