If you allow the withdrawal, you'll have no input on interventions and you'll end up having to do a 2nd request for the evaluation. At that time, their "time clock" starts all over again. Until the underlying problem(s) causing the behavior(s) are identified, intervention is just a "guessing game." in my opinion, it's kind of like a doctor taking an appendix out when, in fact, the the problem is ovarian cysts, e.g., similar pain, but different treatments required to treat the real problem.
