[QUOTE="slsh, post: 104174, member: 8"] Sorry, but your SD is feeding you a line. "Resources" notwithstanding, if your son is (or is supposed to be) receiving speech, he should've have had a full evaluation already done by the SD and he should already have an IEP. Would love to see your SD try to justify not doing requested initial evaluations because of "resources" to a due process officer or the Office of Special Education Programs in D.C. The way it works, you request evaluation in writing (certified letter), they agree or not and if not send you written notice of why, if they agree they have X # of days to get evaluation done and then hold team mtg to determine if he qualifies for Special Education services. Which apparently he does since somewhere along the line they've provided speech therapy. IEP isn't just for "Special Education". It covers whatever "related services" (Occupational Therapist (OT)/ST/PT, social work/psychologist, etc) he needs in order to receive educational benefit. He could have an IQ of 400, but if he needs speech or Occupational Therapist (OT) or whatever, that's covered under an IEP and "special education". "He does have ADD and it is a battle to teach him. BUT the sensory issues are a problem." This is *exactly why he needs an evaluation through the SD (because, again, they don't have to do anything with a private evaluation you give them) and an IEP. Have you checked out the sped 101 forum - archives too. Great sample letters. [/QUOTE]
