[QUOTE="jal, post: 515911, member: 3477"] Be sure that when you request an evaluation you send it to the Director of Special Education or the Director of Pupil Services (however its worded in your school district) by registered mail. This will give you a copy of receipt which kicks off a federal timeline in which they must complete the evaluations. If you send it regular mail it can be claimed it was not received. If the principal is also the Dir of Special Education, then yes, of course she should have told you how to apporach an IEP request. Either person in either position should be able to assist you with that information. SD's do not want to give out that info however, because IEP's can cost money and they can also cost A LOT of money depending upon the services needed. A psychiatrist or a psychologist will not help you with the IEP, but can help with certain independent testing that you can present at the IEP in conjunction with the school testing you requested, but my recommendation would be to seek out a neuropsychologist, that can go above what a psychiatric or psychologist will test for that may help to pinpoint what is going on with your child.
