    Thanks. I wrote another thread months ago about the issues with his school. He was Diagnosed by a neuropsychologist. Thankfully my insurance paid for that because the testing was at least $1000. They determined that he was not autistic at all because I was concerned about that. He screams when...

    Help son expelled from kindergarten

    I told them this because I read that online it also says that that can't punish him excessively and serial suspensions is excessive. They told me he isn't protected until he gets an evaluation and iep. I think they think that because on a single mother that I will believe anything.

    So is this a specialist? Like a medical specialist? If so my insurance may cover that under my medical plan which is different than my behavioral health plan.

    Yes I'm in the US. I asked them today how can they evaluate him if they keep putting him out of school and I told them that they only have 60 days. It has only been about 30 now. They then told me he is,on a list and they can't move any faster, he has to wait until his name comes up. They are...
