[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 410315, member: 7948"] a Rorschach test? Really??? When his is annual or triennial due? If it's an annual academic testing as required by goals is all that is normally done. If it's his triennial then the question of assessments gets trickier. In the meantime - are you going forward with an IEP team meeting, advocate along for the ride? While some new assessments may be in order, if you have the $$ I would go post-haste to your nearest neuropsychologist or well qualified psychologist and have your own testing done before the SD maneuvers you into doing at least some of the testing they want by their pet pscyhologist. You can bring your own testing to the meeting if you choose to do so and possibly cut them off at the knees if that's what seems to be needed. Rorschach really???? I just cannot get over that one. Of course they'd love for you to agree to a projective test that is so subjectively scored. I know you are not that dumb. Can't believe they don't know that. It may well be that your son needs additional services or even a trial in a different placement given that this is not the first issue that's come up (based on your saying there's been previous suspensions). But it needs to be negotiated and managed in a stepwise fashion with everyone understanding the reasoning for a given approach. Sounds like you have a handle on things with the help of the advocates. Let us know how things go. Patricia [/QUOTE]
