[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 542434"] Jenna, exactly when did you give them a written request that he be evaluated for an IEP? Legally, they have no more than 90 days from the receipt of the request. The more "professionals" they have evaluate him the better. Meet with whoever you need to and tell them whatever they need to know ......IF they really are that good. Yes, they will be doing testing, etc over the summer because they are on a federal timeline. All testing needs to be done within 90 days and then you should get a written report of ALL their findings and then a meeting to review the findings with the WHOLE team (and you) and write an IEP if he qualifies. That is a normal process. The key is going to be when they received the request. If it was really right after Christmas, I would maybe mention to the head person that the timeline has expired and that you'd like an explanation as to why it's taking longer than legally allowed. Also, if the ST and Occupational Therapist (OT) are recommending both in-school and outpatient services, go with it. The more help the better while you have it. Welcome to our little corner of the world and I admire the way you are making sure Bubby's needs are being met. Too many "parents" don't do that and you're taking all this on. Good for you!!!
