[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 183082, member: 23"] This sd is way out of compliance if they haven't reevaluated this child in years. nvts is correct. Mom can send a CM letter to request the reevaluation. There are sample letters in the archive if she needs them. In essence, this child needs a full evaluation -- not just an Learning Disability (LD) evaluation. It's a shame a sd would let something like this go for so long. Mom is going to have to learn how to monitor and direct this type of thing. If the student is behind because of lack of instruction, the sd would be liable for compensatory education, e.g., generally whatever it takes to get her caught up. (Sd will fight against it tooth and nail unless mom has backup documentation.) If the student just can't be taught, that would be a different story. I'd strongly advise mom to get a private evaluation in addition to the sd's re-evaluation. Why? You can bet their report won't say "we messed up and because of it, the student is 4 years behind academically." If mom gets an independent evaluation, tell her to make sure the evaluator knows that she will want written recommendations as to how to get difficult child caught up (if applicable). It's hard to ask for appropriate services when one doesn't have a clue what is needed. While the evaluations are underway, mom needs to learn more about advocating for her child. There are some parent guides to the IEP process in the archives that would be a good starting place for her. You're a good friend. [/QUOTE]
