[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502598, member: 12886"] You are now requesting a complete educational evaluation. Speech Language (and I am a speech language path so I really do get this one, lol) can be a category on its own. I am not sure why the child study team only had him evaluated for that at that time... and it is true, he probably did not qualify under THAT category. NO biggie... still write your letter to be evauated for a COMPLETE evaluation... use TeDo's words... You can state that he has received the medical diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and ADHD and has extreme challenges in school. Do not emphasize the psychiatric hospital stay in my humble opinion.... work on his needs and skill deficits and how it impacts school. Again, if he has a neurological issue and they focus on behavior, you may not appreciate the kind of help he gets. when she says psychiatric she means educational psychology which is "ability" or IQ testing. NOt the kind of psychiatric work up he got at the hospital for mood disorders, medications etc... very very different. Others may view this differently but that is my experience. [/QUOTE]
