[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502403, member: 12886"] The school must consider your evaluation but is mandated to follow the criteria set forth to qualify for special education services. For example, when my son received his diagnosis of Autism, he was then recategorized on his IEP under Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (school must use Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) they do not use the various Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis that the medical community uses... all of them go under Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) by federal definition) They did not re-do the testing and used the observations as support for the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) category. They also added their own observations and testing as needed, they recorded that they had verified and documented how it impacted him etc. All states specifically define nad explain it a little differently but it is from federal mandates and definitions so it will be similar everywhere.... soon the medical community will use Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (because the DSM label is changing and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) will include autism, aspergers, etc. as in the schools though the wording is a little different) Here is an explanation from the WISC Autism/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) eligibility criteria: This is I think from the national association of school psychologists: [/QUOTE]
