[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 248923, member: 23"] The sd wherein the child resides is charged with "Child Find." It's part of IDEA/IEP. Our sd is "difficult." It took me a long time to learn that talking just doesn't get it. I understand that the sd is not really interested in evaluating a child that may or may not become a student within the district. But technically, it doesn't matter. I'd hand-carry a request for an evaluation under IDEA regs to the meeting. Under IDEA regs, " In evaluating each child with a disability under §§300.531-300.536, the evaluation is sufficiently comprehensive to identify all of the child's special education and related services needs, whether or not commonly linked to the disability category in which the child has been classified. The child is assessed in all areas related to the suspected disability, including, if appropriate, health, vision, hearing, social and emotional status, general intelligence, academic performance, communicative status, and motor abilities." The catch here is that they have to evaluate in all "suspected areas" of disability. Parents sometimes have to help them "suspect." How does one do that? One way is a "Parent Report." You don't have time to prepare a full blown parent report, but you can do a short one. If you need a sample letter, you'll find one at [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20060204004456/http://www.adhd-add.info/sampleletter.html[/url] . There are others in the archives. Have someone from the school district sign your copy of the report as: ______________________ Accepted by: _____________________ Date..................Time Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
