[QUOTE="Pam R, post: 99605, member: 108"] My understanding is that an IEP covers a child to 18, then a 688 covers them from 18-22. To get a 688, one must have an IEP. After 688, the child transfers to adult services. You are right, they may consider an outside report, but are NOT required to accept it. Again, if the school does the psyche and we don't agree, they must pay to have it done outside. The school did not do the neuro-psyche because the doctor had said she would, then changed her mind. I read the URL posted. (The cognitive stuff interfered and it was pretty hard going.) It was initiated in California, but am I correct in assuming that IDEA is a Federal thing? In which case, it would be relevant here in Mass.? So the questions remain: Should the retesting be done by the school, knowing DS will blow it off? Or should we try to find an outside place, new to DS (in effect changing horses in mid-stream) to do the retesting, during which he might not co-operate as he doesn't have rapport with the tester? Or should we allow the school to accept the 2.5 yr. old outside report? Pam R. [/QUOTE]
