[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 406608, member: 1169"] I wouldn't take a diagnosis or a rule out from a school pysch. They just don't have the training. Both of my boys had their testing done outside of the school, both doctors got input from the schools (teacher surveys, inteviews, etc). When I presented the reports at the IEP meetings, the school psychs (two different ones) wanted to reject the findings because "they just didn't see it". With Eeyore, it had been a joint PhD and MD evaluation and the school cannot deny a diagnosis from an MD (they can deny it has educational impact, but they can't overrule an MD.) With Tigger, I knew about the school's 'checklist' for Autism and I suggested we walk through it. I let the classroom staff answer all the questions -- there was a moment of stunned silence on her part when she added up the scores. Autism isn't just Rainman. [/QUOTE]
