[QUOTE="klmno, post: 346405, member: 3699"] I'm a little confused about what the sd is telling you and what exactly is going on. First, you are correct that a 504 doesn't do much- it certainly doesn't offer the same as an IEP. A private dr/therapist cannot prescribe an IEP though. There is an evaluation process that the school goes through to determine if a student qualifies, and that will involve there sd psychiatric but it is not solely up to him/her. on the other hand, although you have every right to have private testing/evaluation done on your son, the sd does not have to acccept that and can do their own as part of the eligibility evaluation. I assume that you previously did request (in writing) that the sd start an eligibility evaluation on your son, and that the previous hold-up has been waiting for the private testing/evaluation report, and now you have that in hand, if I understand this correctly. If this is the case, then the sd should have all the other necessary reports in hand by now- which should include things like a report from a school social worker, teacher reports, a hearing test, etc., and a meeting should be held (with you there) to review these various things and make a final determination on whether or not your son meets the criteria to be eligible for an IEP. If he is, then a meeting would be help to develop his IEP. You could post something on the Special Education forum to confirm this (as DDD suggests) to get more experienced input- I think I'm close but might not have this 100% accurate. [/QUOTE]
