[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 77838, member: 23"] IEPs are for qualifying children with behavioral OR academic problems. If the child is not displaying any problems at school, the school district can deny the evaluation. You can parent refer and see what happens. All they can do is say "no." If you do parent refer, do it in a letter and send it via Certified Mail. Send [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/if-i-want-to-write-a-formal-request-for-iep-re-evaluation.22433/[/url] via Certified Mail to the Special Education Director at your school district. The certified mail kicks in mandated timelines within which the school district MUST evaluate or go to a Hearing Officer and explain why it's not necessary. The Parent Report mentioned in the letter can be edited out. However, I strongly recommend that you do a report and submit it in a week or two. The reason for this is because the school district must only evaluate in areas of "suspected disability." You're going to have to help them "suspect." I also suggest that you retitle it "Parent Input." There are other sample letters in the Sp Ed Archives. With the anxiety, low frustration threshold, potential sensory issues, etc., I suspect that sooner or later problems which impact the school environment will present. It does happen that kids can sometimes hold it together all day at school and fall apart when they are home. It makes it extremely difficult to get the help they actually need at school. Many kids with average to high IQs qualify for IEPs. Being bright doesn't always equate to being able to handle anything that's thrown at them, however. [/QUOTE]
