[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 515913"] Send a Certified Letter with Return Receipt Requested to the Director of Special Education requesting that you would like your daughter "evaluated for Special Education Services including but not limited to thorough academic, psychological, behavioral, Occupational Therapist (OT), and Speech evaluations." Get that done first. Then seek out a neuropsychologist. The good ones usually have a long waiting list so get on it as soon as you can. In the meantime, find a good Child Psychiatrist and a Ph.D. level Psychologist. They are the ones that will be able to do an independent evaluation. They can also help with things in the long run for your daughter. Tell them you are "concerned about her level of depression and the troubles she's having at school". They cannot do anything about an IEP but they can help her and give you documentation (after they' ve done testing) to take back to the school as additional info. Good luck and welcome to our little corner of the world. [/QUOTE]
