[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 99279, member: 23"] I'm unclear on what you mean "extended services after 18...." An IEP student is entitled to a public education until the student is 22 or until s/he graduates with a regular diploma. School district's have the legal right to perform their own evaluation(s) whether the private evaluation was completed yesterday or at some point in the past -- period. It doesn't matter why a parent may not want the sd to evaluate and it doesn't matter that a student's doctor says it's unnecessary. School district's must "consider" private evaluation(s), however, they do not have to accept them in lieu of doing their own evaluation(s). IDEA/IEP requires an IEP student to be reevaluated every three years unless the parent and the school district agree a new evaluation is not necessary. The bottom line is that the school district has the right to evaluate. If for some reason you disagree with their evaluation(s), you have the right to request an IEE. Under ordinary circumstances, IQs don't usually change significantly but it happens. Kids with ADHD often have a co-existing learning disorder. Sometimes an Learning Disability (LD) is difficult to identify until a child is older. So what part has the sd not completed? [/QUOTE]
