[QUOTE="klmno, post: 245670, member: 3699"] Thanks, Sharon- it's ok- I already sent an email back to the ed spec. I researched her proposed tests this evening and found there are short versions and long versions. I told her in my email that they would reveal some things if the long versions were given, but in order to test the other areas they needed to include a few other tests, which I listed by name, instead of using subjective reporting from others. I also pointed out that difficult child remains in their school system and any long term placement by the judge will require an IEP meeting to change placement and subtly reminded them that they are still responsible for educationg him. Furthermore, they wanted to test difficult child when he isn't symptommatic in order to see if he still qualified for an IEP. (Never mind that EVERY prof says he needs to be on one and stay on it.) So, I told her my position is that he does need an iep and the re-evaluation is to uncover all weaknesses so that we can accommodate them thru his iep. It's kind of hard to continuously blame difficult child for everything when the safety net didn't do anything they were supposed to do and everyone just kept digging themselves in deeper.. And just like difficult child, now it will cost them more because they were spending their time trying to make sure they wouldn't have to pay anything. [/QUOTE]
