[QUOTE="Martie, post: 6871, member: 284"] What I think the SD is saying when it says you "refused interventions" is that you want a full evaluation rather than RTI. (response to intervention) which is discussed on ihunt's thread today. If your SD thinks it HAS to evaluate, that's good in my opinion. Some SD are using RTI as a way to stall divery of services that are needed. Also, I agree with everything Sheila said, especially regarding lack of knowledge that panic disorder is an extreme form of anxiety raising eyebrows. YOU should see all evaluations before the Eligibility/IEP meeting. One of the WORST uses of time is to have every professional present READ his/her report. Besides wasting time, you cannot be expected to process everything and then have an active voice in the writing the IEP on the spot. Unfortunately, too often, that is what the school is counting on. It sounds as if you are planning on taking the neuropsychologist with you. If so, that is good. No one should go to these things alone. Keep on them about the status of the evaluation and make it clear you want their result before the meeting. If they say, "we have to explain them," say "fine--when prior to the formal meeting would you like to schedule the time for explanation." If they say "no," to giving you an explanation prior to the formal meeting, go to the IEP meeting, ask for copies and then ask for a reschedule at a time after you have gone over the reports. They will never refuse to release to you again because it doubles their time commitment. Then you can go over the evaluation with the neuropsychologist and decide if you need an IEE. It is improtant for everyone to know that neither Sheila nor I were EVER refused prior copies of reports. They only refuse because they think that you do not know you have a right to see them (and your child's entire school record.) Martie [/QUOTE]
