[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502440, member: 12886"] If you have not gone thru their version of a child study team yet or an evaluation it is mandated. Really for some areas the evaluation is really a review of existing data and should not take long but for this, it likely will require some testing and use of your supporting info to document the reason for teh IEP. IF they did bypass this, they could be audited and lose funds. Do not just sit back and wait for the meeting. You will have to go thru the evaluation process, then they should give you teh report BEFORE the meeting to discuss the results and some districts like to write a draft IEP right at the results meeting. If they deny services after the evaluation you have rights. You can ask for an independent evaluation at the school districts expense with a private agency. With your documentation, they will see that they have expert testimony that they will not be able to refute. they missed the boat on your kiddo and should be ashamed but go in with the attitude that you are pleased to share results with them that will help what you realize is (sorry dripping with sarcasm here, but be sincere) a tricky thing to sort through, but you are sure they will be pleased to know the results of this evaluation. Do the formal writing and mailing for sure... But, depending on your comfort level, you can actually also meet with the principal and say that you have great news. You know now why difficult child is struggling so and let him know you have started the formal process of obtaining Special Education services. You just want him to know what is going on so that he can be aware that you are willing to help them as much as possible in thier work to develop his IEP. [/QUOTE]
