[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 370963, member: 1169"] School districts are required to consider and discuss any outside evaluation that the parents provide (assuming the outside evaluation was done by a qualified individual). [URL="http://wrightslaw.com/info/test.iee.steedman.htm"]United States District Court in Maryland ruled that an IEP team's failure to consider the private evaluations submitted by the parents was such a serious violation of the IDEA that this alone constituted a denial of a free appropriate public education. DiBuo v. Bd. Of Educ. of Worcester County, slip no. S-01-1311 (Nov. 14, 2001). [/URL] The district is not require to accept/agree with the conclusions of the outside evaluator. However, once the goals, objectives, and services are written into the IEP (whether they came from school district evaluation or outside evaluation), they are now enforceable as a part of the binding contract that is an IEP. So, Shari, if Collab Problem Solving was written into Wee's IEP as the method to be used to achieve his goals or as the method of intervention for his BIP, then they must follow it. If they just wrote in the notes section, "Mother requests staff read TEC and LatS" then it would not be. [/QUOTE]
