[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 537943"] All the more reason to have your own evaluations done. You can have the neuropsychologist, neurologist, Occupational Therapist (OT), and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluations done yourself. OR you can request an IEE (Indepepndent Education Evaluation) at the school's expense. That request needs to be made in writing also. When you had the IEP meeting, did they give you any testing results? Did they give you anything in writing denying him services and why? Do you have all the professional reports easily accessible that say he has definite developmental delays? Sounds like you might need an advocate. You can call your state's Department of Education and ask for names and numbers to find one. Sorry you are going through all this. As for the school, I have had a similar fight and ended up pulling my kids from public school. I still think you really need to find a developmental pediatrician or a neuropsychologist to get to the bottom of the issues (IF it turns out not to be seizures) so you can get the right medications (if there are any needed). You're doing an awesome job. Keep down this road and you might want to keep a journal of the before, during, and after of his behaviors. Patterns will usually emerge that you didn't realize were there. More supportive {{{{HUGS}}}} to you. [/QUOTE]
