[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 142739, member: 23"] You do not have to provide any type of evaluation. If you request IN WRITING and VIA CERTIFIED MAIL for the school district to evaluate your child, the sd must perform the evaluation or give you written denial explaining why they are refusing. ("Because we said so." isn't adequate.) There are sample letters in the archives for requesting a Full and Initial Evaluation if you need one. The term Full and Initial Evaluation is right out of the federal regs but states call it by various names. The separation sounds like 504 accommodations to me. Are they listed in his 504? Calling a child names is never appropriate in my opinion. Have you talked to the principal about it? Try not to be overly sensitive to terms like "annoying." It's hurtful, but the fact is, is that many of our kids have annoying behaviors. But turn it around, use this type of information to advocate for services your child needs. Very important to keep emails such as this. Get your letter in the mail and then begin self educating yourself about your's and your son's education rights. There's a "getting started" thread in the Sp Ed Archives and lots of other useful information. Also, [url]www.wrightlaw.com[/url] is a "must bookmark" site for parents of school age children with disabilities. [/QUOTE]
