Is there some way I can legally ask for more time?

[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 84069, member: 23"] Regarding the late assignments, I'd ask for a meeting with the teacher and school counselor, explain the family death and recent illness issues and see if you can get something worked out. Based on what you've written above and in the General Forum, I suspect that your son's academic problem is not due to he "won't," but rather presently he "can't." Whether it's due to depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and/or bipolar, etc., the problem(s) appear to have surpassed his coping skills. It's highly probable that difficult child will continue to flounder without intervention. And it's sometimes more difficult to get required intervention in school when a student has a track record of being an A student in gifted classes, e.g., the student is academically gifted therefore the problems are attributed to willfulness. Even though difficult child is being evaluated privately, you still need to refer him for a Full and Initial Evaluation via IDEA/IEP regs in my opinion. It should be done by letter and via Certified Mail (very important to send it via CM -- it kicks in mandated timelines within which the school district must perform the evaluation(s)). [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/if-i-want-to-write-a-formal-request-for-iep-re-evaluation.22433/[/url] is a sample letter if you need it. Edit out the Parent Report info, and submit it in a week or two if you wish. Retitle it "Parent Input." Why the "Parent Input?" The school district only has to evaluate in areas of "suspected disability," and the school district must consider "parent input." It's a good tool to help them "suspect." It's also a good way to present information in an organized, unemotional format. You'll find more info on this topic on the FAQ/Forum Help forum. I'd get the letter in the mail Monday. [/QUOTE]
