[QUOTE="klmno, post: 128919, member: 3699"] I sent the letter out today- actually I guess it will go out tomorrow. Anyway, I had scanned through the IDEA and our state regs and believe I was justified in asking for- 1) a private specialist in mood disorders to come to the school and do an FBA (I hope this means they will sit in and observe classes- since difficult child is struggling in 4 but only 1 teacher complains about behavior and implementing IEP and another complains about him forgetting supplies and homework- so how does this mean it's all "intentional" and in his control?); and 2) a specialist to be a member of the IEP team who can assess neuropsychologist testing from 2 years ago, 2 psychiatrist evaluations, medications difficult child takes, IEP; and help sd understand the impact of the disability on the educational component, and help sd implement the IEP. (The only time we had a "psychologist" on board was during the qualification meeting in elementary school, and he wasn't really a psychologist.) I copied the principal- she'll go through the roof I'm sure and difficult child will end up getting written up for something- I can see it coming. But based on the things these people have told me and tried to pull before, I can't sit by and do nothing and count on them to do what is in his besst interest. been there done that and learned my lesson. Just like you ladies have said, I probably won't get this, but it appeared to be the correct process before complaining to the state doe. [/QUOTE]
